OnCourse Golf, promoters of the UAE International Pairs golf tournament, today announced that Daman Investments, one of the leading UAE-based regional investment management companies, is the Title Sponsor for the 2014-15 tournament, now to be known as the Daman Investment International Pairs.
The International Pairs is a worldwide event that takes place in numerous countries around the world and culminates in a World Final, usually in Scotland, in which each country’s winning pair, competes for the world title. The UAE version features as many as 1,200 club and EGF members taking part in seventeen qualifying golf tournaments – one at virtually every club in the country – with the winning pair from each qualifier competing against each other in the UAE National Final.
Mr. Shehab Gargash, CEO of Daman Investments said “Daman Investments is delighted to be involved in this prestigious tournament which is in line with our philosophy of supporting high profile sports events that are a perfect match to Daman’s status as a pioneering non-bank financial service company, both locally and regionally. Working with the promoter we intend to make the Daman Investments International Pairs the most popular and attractive country-wide event on the golfing calendar, giving every participating golfer an experience to remember” added Mr. Gargash,
Daman Investments has, for some years, been one of the leading and most successful regional providers of non-banking financial services through consistent application of the core values of quality, accountability and transparency. Using its extensive regional knowledge and global expertise to excel in specializing at investment in listed and non-listed equities, asset management and brokerage, Daman Investments has distinguished itself by offering innovative investment products and services to both regional and international clients through its investment management, venture and development capital investment opportunities, as well as its regional brokerage operations.
On behalf of the promoter OnCourse Golf, Stephen Rutter thanked Mr. Shehab Gargash and the entire team at Daman Investments for their support, and added that the new title sponsors had already shown how well and how generously they intend to support the 2014-15 series, and that anyone competing in the coming season will be impressed with the step-up that the tournament is making this year as result.
Rutter went on to thank the other support sponsors, Mediclinic, TaylorMade, Standard Chartered Bank, AGMC/BMW, Virgin Atlantic, Visa, Middle East Golfer, UAE Golf Online and Sport 360.
“With great gifts from Daman Investments, superb prizes from TaylorMade, hole-in-one prizes from Virgin Atlantic and AGMC/BMW, and speciality prizes from Mediclinic, every qualifier promises to be an experience of its own, and with the UAE and World Finals up for grabs, the Daman Investments International Pairs is not to be missed” said Rutter.
The first Daman Investments International Pairs qualifying tournament has taken place this week at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club in Abu Dhabi. Each club qualifier and the two EGF qualifiers are open to club and EGF members and all feature fabulous gifts and prizes and a chance to win a place at the UAE National Final at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club in May 2015, where the winners from all seventeen qualifiers will compete for a place in the 2015 World Final.
