In line with its commitment to contribute to the promotion of Oman as an international sporting destination, Sohar International, the fastest-growing bank in Oman, has recently expanded its support as the Platinum sponsor for the 50th Muscat Open Golf Championship 2024.
Acknowledged as a premier amateur golf tournament in the GCC, the two-day event took place on February 23 and 24 at the Ras Al Hamra Golf Course. The championship attracted enthusiastic participants from Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Great Britain, a press release said.
Ahmed al Musalmi, CEO of
Sohar International, said, "As golf continues to ascend as a worldwide sport, the 50th Muscat Open emerges as a defining moment, spotlighting Oman as a premier sports destination on the world stage. Our partnership with this esteemed international sporting event underscores Sohar International’s steadfast dedication to advancing the nation's socio-economic development. Our commitment to such endeavours not only enhances the sporting landscape but also inspires individuals to strive for excellence, propelling them toward their highest potential."
Golf in Oman has emerged as a powerful catalyst for socioeconomic growth. The establishment of world-class golf courses and associated infrastructure has not only attracted international tourists but also spurred investments in other sectors, including hospitality and real estate.
As Oman positions itself on the global sports tourism stage by hosting international golf tournaments, the nation gains prestige, visibility, and opportunities for further partnerships, solidifying the sport's role as a dynamic driver of Oman's economic and social advancement. Sohar International aims to further contribute to the development of golf in Oman.
