The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi continues to support the 11th annual, Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship as platinum sponsor, held at the award-winning 27-hole championship course at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

From January 20 - 24, golfing elites Rory Mcllroy, Rickie Fowler and three-time Falcon Trophy champion Martin Kaymer will headline the record-setting championship event along with the Arabian debut of Jordan Spieth on most idyllic island getaway, as The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort conveys its passion for the sport of golf.

“We are delighted to be the platinum sponsor of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and continue to support the Capital’s popular event for the 4thconsecutive year. Our passion for golf is clear, and The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, set along the unmatched backdrop of the Arabian Sea continues to be an alluring destination for all golf enthusiasts,” said Stewart Selbie, general manager of the hotel.
