The Future Looks Bright For UAE Golf After Emirates Golf Federation’s Arabic Schools Initiative Supported By DP World

The prospect of seeing a home-grown player from the United Arab Emirates making it on the world golfing stage is edging ever closer thanks to the ongoing success of a DP World funded Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) Arabic Schools Initiative.

The innovative programme, which is also supported by the European Tour, launched last year with the first phase seeing the Emirates Golf Federation with the assistance of Golf DXB, visiting six UAE schools to give ‘Golf Taster’ sessions to over 3,000 students. Fifty children were also treated to a visit to the European Tour’s season-ending tournament, the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates, where they had a ‘behind the scenes’ tour to get a taste of what is involved in running a world-class golf tournament.
