<p style="text-align: justify;">Teams of one Professional and three amateurs will compete over 54 holes at <strong><a href="https://www.ecgolf.com/">Education City Golf Club&#8217;s</a> </strong>José María Olazábal-designed course for a prize fund of €10,000*, providing extended opportunities for professionals to compete in another CPG sanctioned event during the off-peak golf season.</p>

Teams will get the opportunity to experience this first-hand in a week designed to entertain and delight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">General Manager of Education City Golf Club, <strong>Michael Braidwood</strong> commented: “We are excited to be hosting our first CPG international Pro-Am with a golf course that will be in perfect tournament condition at the time of hosting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The Marriott Marquis Hotel City Centre Doha Hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city so the competitors can enjoy the best of both worlds – tranquil golf by day and city life after play. We also have an exciting itinerary lined up and are working hard to line up more activities, including Fifa 2022 stadium tours.”</p>
