The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) has announced the final event of its season, the EGF Order of Merit Championship, is set to take place from 8–10 May at Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting and Golf Club.
The tournament will bring together some of the UAE’s top amateur golfers in a highly anticipated season finale.
The EGF confirmed that 56 of the country’s leading male and female amateur players will compete, having earned their places through strong performances across the season. The field will also include a select number of wildcard entries, with players vying for the titles of Best Male Player and Best Female Player of the 2025–2026 season.
The lineup features a standout mix of top-ranked players in the Federation’s overall standings, alongside some of the UAE’s most promising junior talents. Additional invitations round out a field that highlights the depth and quality of amateur golf in the country.
Men’s and women’s competitions will be contested over three days, with results contributing to the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). Junior events will take place across Saturday and Sunday as part of the tournament programme.
With double ranking points on offer, the event carries added significance, playing a decisive role in determining this season’s champions across multiple categories. It also represents the final opportunity for players to qualify for the Dubai Golf Trophy, one of the standout events on the domestic calendar.
President of the Emirates Golf Federation, General Abdullah Al Hashmi, described the tournament as the culmination of an exceptional and successful season, noting that it represents more than just a competition—it is a celebration of the players’ dedication and achievements throughout the year.
He added that the Federation remains committed to elevating the standard of golf in the UAE and creating greater opportunities for players to compete on the international stage.
