Asian Tour To Conclude Season In Dubai With Dec. 11-14 Dubai Open

The Asian Tour launched its "first foray into the Middle East on Monday when it announced its new season-ending tournament would take place in the United Arab Emirates and be called the Dubai Open," according to Nick Mulvenney of REUTERS. Under the terms of a three-year deal, the new tournament will take place in December "at an as yet to be determined course" and will be promoted and organized by Golf in Dubai, "which has run the European Tour's Dubai Desert Classic" since '89. The Asian Tour, which competes with the OneAsia Tour for "supremacy on the world's most populous continent, earlier this month announced it would hold its first event in Africa." The $1.3M AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will "take place for the first time next May and be co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour, European Tour and southern Africa's Sunshine Tour" (REUTERS, 9/15). ARABIAN BUSINESS' Neil Halligan reported Asian Tour's Dubai Open will "make its debut in Dubai" from Dec. 11-14 at a "venue to be confirmed." Talks with "prospective sponsors and different Dubai golf clubs are reportedly at an advanced stage" (ARABIAN BUSINESS, 9/14).
