The iconic Falcon has overlooked much drama since the inception of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2006. Erected in 2000, the Falcon pays homage to the national bird of the UAE and recognises the importance of falconry in Arab tradition and culture. Dating back hundreds of years, the Bedouin hunters used falcons to gather their food. Image Credit: Courtesy Abu Dhabi Golf Club
