The European Tour and Oman Golf Committee today announced a three-year partnership ensuring the Oman Open will be played at the stunning Al Mouj Golf in the Sultanate of Oman\u2019s capital city Muscat until 2021.<\/p>\n

The Oman Golf Committee took over the role of promoter for the Oman Open in 2019 with a mandate to grow the game of golf and the tournament \u2013 recognised as Oman\u2019s biggest professional sporting occasion \u2013 and has dually delivered in showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Sultanate of Oman, whilst also inspiring the next generation of golfers from the region.<\/p>\n

American Kurt Kitayama produced a remarkable comeback to win his second European Tour title of the Race to Dubai season at the Oman Open in February and the tournament is once again set to bolster the European Tour\u2019s Middle East swing from February 27 \u2013 March 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

While this year\u2019s event marked only the second staging of the Oman Open, Al Mouj Golf is no stranger to hosting professional golf tournaments. In addition to being recognised as a world-class golf course, drawing rave reviews from the European Tour\u2019s elite players, it has previously played host to the stars of the European Challenge Tour between 2013 and 2017.<\/p>\n

His Excellency Dr Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas and Honorary Chairman of the Oman Golf Committee, said: \u201cI am very pleased to see the continual growth of the Oman Open, growth which would not have been possible without the trust and support of the many sponsors involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we have built a world class event that we can all be very proud of, an event that will not only encourage the growth of golf in the Sultanate but that also shows that Oman is a beautiful destination for tourists and an attractive destination for investors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keith Waters, Director of International Policy and Chief Operating Officer at the European Tour, added: \u201cThe European Tour is delighted with the expansion of the Oman Open and the commitment of the Sultanate of Oman to host and support the event for a further three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur players thoroughly enjoy this event and to have the Oman Golf Committee as the promoter, working with the Oman Golf Association, it is fantastic and will go a long way in further strengthening this tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to receive the support of the government and thankful for the vision which His Excellency Dr.Rumhy had more than seven years ago. Oman can be very proud that this vision has become reality in such an impressive journey and now has a long-term commitment to grow the Oman Open and golf in the country even further.\u201d<\/p>\n
