EGA Swings Into Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship

The award-winning Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, which each January launches the Desert Swing as part of the European Tour, has been renamed following a landmark presenting partnership deal with Emirates Global Aluminium. EGA is the largest industrial company in the UAE outside oil and gas and one of the world’s biggest ‘premium aluminium’ producers.

The tournament, held at the showpiece Abu Dhabi Golf Club, will now be known as the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA.

The deal means that EGA is now backing both key UAE championships on the early-start Desert Swing  – the other being the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. EGA is the only company to sponsor both events.
