00:00We're excited about the challenge to come into the UAE with the Abu Dhabi Challenge and the UAE Challenge.
00:06We have very experienced teams here in the UAE from the European Tour Group.
00:11Based in the UAE we have 22 staff working on the big tournaments and they have it all under control.
00:17But of course with the support of Sadiat Beach Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club, both clubs have fantastic teams, very experienced.
00:24It's actually, I wouldn't say a walk in the park, but we are very well prepared.
00:29And together with the Emirates Golf Federation the planning has been a big success so far.
00:33There's over 20 golf courses in the UAE. What makes Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Sadiat the perfect fit for the Challenge Tour, do you think?
00:41Both golf courses are unique. They speak for themselves.
00:47We have of course good experience with Abu Dhabi Golf Club where we hosted the Abu Dhabi HGC Championship numerous times.
00:55Sadiat, the venue, is just beautiful. It was a perfect fit to come to Abu Dhabi and have a double header here.
01:02It makes it easier for the players and of course also for the team.
01:07Both golf courses are in pristine condition and the players will probably play two of the best courses here in the UAE on the Challenge Tour.
01:15Road to Mallorca in a couple of weeks.
01:18The Challenge Tour obviously has a history in the UAE. How great is it to have this extended relationship with the DP World Tour and the Challenge Tour and the EGF?
01:28We all know that it's not the first time that we're here in the UAE.
01:32We had two tournaments in Albadia, Golf Club in 2013 and 2014, which were both the final tournaments on the Challenge Tour calendar.
01:41Then from 2016 to 2018, we actually played in Ras Al Khaimah and 2018 was the Challenge Tour Grand Final in Ras Al Khaimah.
01:50Now on the road to Mallorca, we are passing here in these two beautiful golf courses, Sadiat Beach Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
01:58So great history here with the UAE and the partnership with the Emirates Golf Federation and the PGA European Tour Group and the Challenge Tour is just fantastic.
