The Dubai Sports Council CEO’s Masters Golf Day will take place at the magnificent Dubai Sports City Els Club on Wednesday 8th January 2020, as part of the Dubai Sports Council’s commitment to promoting golf as a business networking and key tourism tool for the UAE and region. The Dubai Sports Council CEO Masters, sponsored by BackLite Media will bring 100 top golfing executives and government representatives from across the UAE to participate in the shot-gun tournament at 1 pm on the ELS GOLF CLUB, one of the many magnificent golfing assets in the UAE.
As well as BackLite Media who have been promoting the event with double sided backlit billboards on the Sheikh Zayed Road, the event has attracted Silver Sponsors MonViso water (Italian), AARO Systems (Swedish software house), eGolfmegastore and EFG Hermes (Egyptian Investment Bank) as well as Bronze sponsors; AGMC BMW, Emirates, Orient Travel, Hero Adventures, CEO Club, Scorpio, Bliss, Ascots & Chapels, Jazz Lounge, Troon Abu Dhabi, Noble Empire and Saudi Aramco. This impressive, sector diverse and truly multicultural collection of sponsors is mirrored by the diverse population of executive golfers. This explains why HH Sheikh Mohammed identified Golf as one of the most influential sports in supporting business growth within the UAE, triggering the set-up of Falcon Golf several years ago.
The Dubai Sports Council CEO’s masters will be held in an 18-hole team shambles format, designed to provide an interactive golf and networking experience. The tournament will conclude with a formal dinner held at the Big Easy Restaurant hosted by H.E. Saeed Hareb, the Secretary General of Dubai Sports Council, who will address the senior business and government leaders of the UAE to discuss the value of golf both as a business networking and tourism tool for the region.
