Gulf News backs Ladies Masters

A leading news provider across multiple platforms, using all available multimedia tools including radio and video, Gulf News has become a household name in the region — and is no stranger to providing solid coverage to big sporting events.

The largest circulated daily of the region has in fact become synonymous with high-profile sporting spectacles like the Dubai World Cup horse race meeting, the Dubai Tennis Championships and, of course, the Dubai Desert Classic, having been associated with them since their inception.

Strong field

The Omega Dubai Ladies Masters this year boasts one of the strongest fields ever assembled on the fast-growing Ladies European Tour.

In all 12 Solheim Cup players, including Michelle Wie and British Open champion Catriona Matthew, will join a slew of leading golfers, spearheaded by world No 10 In Kyung Kim, in what promises to be an absorbing battle for honours at the Majlis course of the Emirates Golf Club.

"Gulf News' contribution in promoting world-class sporting activities in the UAE is second to none," said Mohammad Juma Bu Amim, vice-chairman and CEO of golf in DUBAi, the promoters and organisers of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.

"Being an official newspaper of our Dubai Desert Classic, now renamed as the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, for many years, Gulf News has also supported the premier ladies golf event since it made its debut in Dubai in 2006 and that speaks volumes of their commitment in promoting the fast-growing sport in the country," Bu Amim said.
