\u201cIn 2019, for the first time, the tournament was broadcast on Oman Sport TV and considering the event reached over 200 million households, Oman truly was the centre of the global golf audience for the week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Last year a total sponsorship value of net $31.5m was generated from 1,912 hours of dedicated TV coverage and 1,970 hours of the action at Al Mouj Golf streamed online.<\/p>\n
