DP World Tour event POSTPONED due to Covid pandemic
DP World Tour confirms the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters has been postponed until Spring as a replacement event is named.
The DP World Tour has confirmed that the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters has been postponed until later this Spring and it will be replaced by a second $2 million tournament in Ras Al Khaimah.
The Qatar Masters was scheduled to take place from February 10 to 13, but it will now be replaced in the schedule by the Ras Al Khaimah Classic.
This new event will follow the Ras Al Khaimah Championship Presented by Phoenix Capital (February 3 to 6), with both DP World Tour events teeing up at the beautiful Al Hamra Golf Club.
These back-to-back tournaments in Ras Al Khaimah mean the circuit's Middle East swing remains at four events, with the Ras Al Khaimah double-header preceded by the first two Rolex Series events of 2022 - the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, which takes places this week at Yas Links, and the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic next week on the Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club.
Collin Morikawa, who won the Race to Dubai last year, and Rory McIlroy headline this week's field in Abu Dhabi.
