There’s so much to see and do for everyone attending

- Staff Report

Major winner and 2020 European Ryder Cup Captain Pádraig Harrington is set to tee it up at the upcoming Ras Al Khaimah Championsh­ip at Al Hamra Golf Club from February 2-5, 2023. The 15-time DP World Tour winner joins an alreadyimp­ressive field which includes defending champion Nicolai Højgaard, his twin brother Rasmus and New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, who finished second in the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnershi­p with Rolex last season.

The Irish star secured his first senior Major title at the US Senior Open last year — among four PGA TOUR Champions wins in 2022 — adding to his US PGA Championsh­ip and two Open Championsh­ip trophies. He returns for his second appearance at the Ras Al Khaimah Championsh­ip in February. “I’m looking forward to playing the Ras Al Khaimah Championsh­ip next month,” said Harrington. “I enjoyed last year’s tournament and relish the opportunit­y to visit Ras Al Khaimah and play at Al Hamra Golf Club once again.

Exciting activities

As well as watching Harrington and his fellow DP World Tour stars on the course, there’s an array of exciting activities available for spectators away from the live golf.

Bear Grylls’ Outdoor Adventure Camp will be on-site which allows guests to participat­e in various outdoor activities such as soft tipped archery classes, while children can enjoy a specialise­d adventure park.

Free beach access is also available at Al Hamra Residence while face painting, magic shows and games are on offer to keep children entertaine­d all throughout the day.
