The 2014 Championship saw 68 pairs compete for a prize fund of €38,000 across Lumine’s Lakes and Hills Courses, and as the Championship sees the club and the Costa Daurada region host for the third year, Golfbreaks.com return for their second year of support for the event.

“We are already looking forward to welcoming the Professionals back to Lumine in the New Year,” said Calle Carlsson, General Manager, Lumine Golf & Beach Club. “It is always a pleasure to have them competing across our courses and experiencing what the Costa Daurada region can offer, and I am sure the 2015 tournament will continue to build on its fantastic growth in the past few years.”

Steve Hemsworth, Managing Director of Golfbreaks.com, added, “We are delighted to sponsor this very special tournament which attracts Golf Professionals from all over Europe. Our long-term relationship with The Confederation of Professional Golf and its members is very important to Golfbreaks.com as we continue to grow the ‘Pro’ side of our business, and we look forward to once again supporting this superb event at what is a wonderful venue.”

Up to 120 pairs of Professionals will look to emulate the success of last year’s Champions, Paul Broadhurst and Robert Coles, after their systematic and consistent play helped them take home the winners’ cheque earlier this year.

“Lumine continue to be fantastic partners of the Confederation of Professional Golf,” explained the Association’s Chief Executive, Ian Randell [pictured centre].

“We are very grateful to Calle Carlsson [pictured right] and his excellent team there for their continued support, and, along with the help of Golfbreaks.com, Octavi Bono i Gispert’s [pictured left] team at the Tarragona Province Tourist Board and their regional tourism offices, we are sure it 2015 will make for the best edition of the Championship yet.”

Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting & Golf Club, venue of the MENA Tour Championship finale for 2011, 2012 and 2013, will once again open its doors to professionals and amateurs from around the globe for the 4 day event consisting of a practice round on the Monday and then 3 days of tournament golf.

Teams will compete in a stableford competition with Professionals also competing in an individual strokeplay tournament for a prize fund of €32,000 and a first prize of €3,200.

“Having the Mercedes-Benz International Pro-Am on our tournament schedule for the second time is a great marker for the success of the event,” said Confederation of Professional Golf Chief Executive Ian Randell. “The staging by Gavin Chappell and his team at AESGC, along with the incredibly valuable support of the Abu Dhabi Sports Council and other partners of the event, has very quickly made this a ‘must-attend’ tournament.

“The warmer climate in the United Arab Emirates at that time of year compared to the cooler temperatures experienced across Europe means it is perfectly placed to kick-start the year for PGA Professionals and their amateur team mates.”

Mr. Nassim Mourani, General Manager of Eastern Motors said, “After a successful tournament last year built on solid partnerships with the Confederation of Professional Golf and the Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting & Golf Club, Eastern Motors is truly proud to be the main supporter, once again, to this elite sports tournament.

“The prestigious Mercedes-Benz brand identity resembles the exclusive sport of golf in perfection, precision and sporting prowess; hence, our devoted commitment toward encouraging and inspiring talented athletes to emerge in Al Ain.”

The inaugural Pro-Am earlier this year saw PGA of Czech Republic Professional, Filip Mruzek, cap off a stunning performance with a four-under par 67, to finish top of the leaderboard just one shot ahead of the PGA of Austria’s Georg Schultes.

Mercedes-Benz Pro-Am Packages are free for professionals (based on 3 paying amateurs) with amateur prices starting at AED4,495 (Approximate exchange rate, €1 = AED 4.9) and include:
