QATAR MASTERS
WM PHOENIX OPEN

The Qatar Masters is a European Tour golf tournament held at Doha Golf Club in Doha, Qatar. When founded in 1998, it was one of two European Tour events to be staged in the Arabian Peninsula, but was at one point, one of six. From 2005 to 2007 the tournament was co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour.

The tournament had modest fields in its early years, but with the aid of “promotional” money paid to top golfers to appear, and being scheduled within a three-week period that included events in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, it developed to have one of the European Tour’s strongest fields.

In 2018, due to travel restrictions between the United Arab Emirates and Qatar as a result of the ongoing diplomatic dispute in the Arab World, it was moved to later in the year, and is no longer held at the same time as the Abu Dhabi and Dubai events. The date change coincided with a reduction in prize money, and resulted in a lower field strength than previous editions.

DOHA GOLF CLUB

Designed by Peter Harradine, the 18 hole Championship Course is known to be a challenging course from the back tees and offers many strategic and exciting holes, where the scratch golfer can test his skills.

The course has been designed with 2 starting and finishing holes which maximizes both the playing flexibility and the number of daily playing rounds.

Home to the annual DP World Tour Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, the Championship Course continually proves to be one of the longest, yet most enjoyed, par 72 courses on the tour.

LONG COURSE CHALLENGES

The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters is an annual golf tournament that is part of The DP World Tour, where many of the world’s top golfers competed on Doha Golf Club’s challenging desert-style championship course, which is one of the longest par 72 courses on the tour. The Championship course boasts a full length driving range, 8 lakes on the course, and thousands of trees and shrubs. The wind is notorious for creeping up in the afternoon, and this can quickly become a force to be reckoned with when you play. Morning tee times, in contrast, tend to be more benign in terms of playing conditions.

The Phoenix Open (branded as the WM Phoenix Open for sponsorship reasons) is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, held in late January/early February at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The tournament was originally the Arizona Open, but was known for most of its history as the Phoenix Open until the investment bank Friedman Billings Ramsey became the title sponsor in October 2003, and it was known as the FBR Open for the next six editions. Waste Management, Inc. began its sponsorship in 2010.

The event’s relaxed atmosphere, raucous by the standards of professional golf, has earned it the nickname “The Greatest Show on Grass” and made it one of the most popular events on the PGA Tour calendar.

TPC SCOTTSDALE

TPC Scottsdale is a 36-hole golf complex in the southwestern United States, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, northeast of Phoenix.

Opened 37 years ago in 1986, the resort is part of the Tournament Players Club network of golf courses operated by the PGA Tour. The Stadium Course has been home to the tour’s annual Phoenix Open since 1987.

STADIUM COURSE

Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish were commissioned by the PGA Tour to build a course to host the Phoenix Open starting in 1987. The Stadium Course was the result, at an approximate average elevation of 1,530 feet (470 m) above sea level.

The par-3 16th hole on the Stadium Course is the only fully enclosed hole on the PGA Tour. The grandstands that surround the 16th, which have a capacity of 20,000, are home to one of the most enthusiastic crowds on the PGA Tour. A shot that lands on the green will result in cheers from the crowd, while a shot that misses the green will result in boos. Tiger Woods scored an ace (hole in one) on this hole during the 1997 Phoenix Open, sending the crowd in attendance into a frenzy.
