The magnificent Yas Links Golf Club, Abu Dhabi, has been chosen as the venue for the Emirates Airline Invitational Hosted by Abdullah Al Naboodah, on Monday, January 30, 2012.
The European Tour-sanctioned one-day Pro-Am was staged at Yas Links for the first time in January 2011 and proved to be an overwhelming success. Players and spectators alike heralded the tournament a fun yet seriously competitive event where the fans were able to get close to the action and join in the banter with the cream of The European Tour.
With the event now part of The European Tour’s Pro-Am Calendar, the sixth staging of the Emirates Airline Invitational is gathering momentum towards the big day. With the series of Carpetland Golden Ticket qualifiers well underway, the battle for a place in the Grand Final to earn a place as the leading amateur and leading junior is also warming up.
The date of January 30 for the Emirates Airline Invitational fits perfectly into The European Tour’s Middle East Swing schedule with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship from January 26-29, the Commercialbank Qatar Masters presented by Dolphin Energy from February 2-5, followed by the Omega Desert Classic from February 9-12
