The UAE squad, currently undergoing an intensive training camp in the United Kingdom under supervision of national coach Chris Vallender, will feature in a series of tournaments, both at home and abroad, when the season gets under way later this year.
“We are proud to have a brand of the stature of Callaway Golf Middle East on board as the sponsor of our national team and we believe that our partnership will continue to grow with time,” said Saeed Albudoor, general manager of the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF).
“The name of Callaway Golf is synonymous with the highest level of quality and service, and we hope their support could well be a catalyst in strengthening the UAE team’s position on the regional circuit. With a string of creditable performances under their belt, UAE national golfers have already become a force to be reckoned with, and we look forward to seeing them scale new heights,” he added.
Progolf International, the distributors of Callaway Golf Middle East, was equally pleased to be aligned with the UAE national squad. “Callaway, being the leading golf brand in the Middle East, is proud to be associated with the national squad, and hopes to add value and performance to the team in every aspect,” said Scott Sullivan, Brand Manager, Progolf International.

“The sponsorship of the national squad is more of a relationship that we want to build on for the future between the Callaway brand and amateur golf in the Middle East .Together with the EGF management, we hope to produce great champions in the future and, may be, the first Major Championship winner from the UAE. Who knows?
“We would like to wish the team and its management the very best for their forthcoming tournaments especially the Eisenhower World Amateur Team event. We know and trust that they will produce their best golf, bettering their previous results and expectations.”
Meanwhile, members of the UAE National Squad have already started their preparations in earnest for the season ahead. At present, they are in the United Kingdom attending a training camp to fine tune their competitive edge under tutelage of their coach Chris Vallender.
The players attending the camp are: Khalid Yousuf, Saeed Malik, Faris Al Mazrui, Abdulla Al Musharrekh, Ahmed Al Musharrekh and Hassan Al Musharrekh.
