The trio will be joined by 2025 Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year Martin Couvra for the third edition of the tournament, which is held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and continues to grow as a key fixture on the regional golfing calendar.

With a strong international field and rising stars set to compete, fans can look forward to four days of high-quality professional golf in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Free Admission for All Four Days

General admission is completely free throughout the championship, ensuring the event remains accessible to the entire Bahraini community. Fans are encouraged to register for their complimentary tickets via Platinum List, allowing them to enjoy world-class golf up close at one of the region’s premier venues.

Spectators will be able to follow their favourite players across the course while soaking up the atmosphere both on and off the fairways.

Championship Village Brings Festival Atmosphere

Away from the action on the course, the Championship Village will transform Royal Golf Club into a vibrant festival destination for the whole family. Thrill-seekers can take on a spectacular 100-metre zip line that soars across the venue, while a dedicated kids’ zone offers entertainment for younger visitors throughout the day.

Live music will provide the soundtrack to the week, alongside a traditional Bahraini souq celebrating local culture, crafts and cuisine. With golf, entertainment and community experiences all in one place, the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship promises an unforgettable week for players and fans alike.
