Stars confirmed for Fatima Ladies Golf
abu dhabi — Some of the biggest names in women’s golf have confirmed their participation at this year’s Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open (FBMLO), which will be held from November 1 to 4 at the iconic Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, in Abu Dhabi
This year’s edition will attract thousands of visitors, and spectators will be particularly thrilled by the news that top golfing talent Georgia Hall, Mel Reid, Catriona Matthew and Cheyenne Woods are all confirmed to appear at this year’s tournament, along with already confirmed Beth Allen, last year’s inaugural winner. Over the four-day period, 126 players will compete for a total prize purse of $550,000.
Held for the second year running under the patronage of Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open is renowned as being one of Abu Dhabi’s top sporting and family events.
Two players who came close to victory last year, Georgia Hall and Mel Reid, will be looking to go one better at this year’s tournament. Georgia’s ascent to the top of ladies golf has been rapid since turning professional three years ago. She featured in Europe’s Solheim Cup team in August, and has been a prominent figure on the LET tour this year and is full of confidence with six top-10 finishes from eight appearances. Looking ahead to this year’s FBMLO, Georgia said: “I’m looking forward to playing the course and playing some great golf.”
