The format should attract wide interest and it is expected that the entire championship will be played over 650 rounds during the four month period.'
Commenting on the Matchplay Championships, Raimund Legnar, Director Sales & Marketing and Golf Operations at Emaar Properties PJSC, said' The Dubai Duty Free Matchplay Championships will be the largest event to be staged at 'The Desert Course', which was designed by Ian Baker-Finch in association with Nicklaus Design and which opened to the golfing public February 1, 2004. We are delighted to launch this event and are very fortunate to have the support and commitment of Dubai Duty Free which is a great sponsor and organizer of many sporting activities both here and overseas.'
Mr. Legnar expects that the Matchplay Championships will be oversubscribed. 'This is a great opportunity for golfers in the UAE to test their Matchplay skills and nerves on a one to one basis and make it through all six rounds of golf to become the first Open Amateur Matchplay Champion', added Legnar.
