The men’s teams have arrived at Abu Dhabi Golf Club ahead of the eagerly anticipated Eisenhower Trophy with 32 countries from around the world represented at the prestigious event, which is being held in the Middle East for the very first time.
To officially mark the start of tournament week, Gordon Sargent (USA), Jose Luis Balester Barrio (SPAIN), Ahmad Skaik (UAE), Pietro Bovari (ITALY), and Nick Dunlap (USA), posed for a photo in front of the iconic Falcon clubhouse at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
They will follow in the footsteps of some of the game’s greatest players when they tee it up at the National Course on Wednesday, with the esteemed amateur contest often being a showcase of golf’s promising young talent with past Major champions Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods previously featuring on winning teams before turning professional.
The Emirates Golf Federation, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Sports Council and their Destination Partner, the Department of Culture and Tourism, will host the men’s Eisenhower Trophy from October 18-21, followed by the women’s Espirito Santo Trophy on October 25-28.
