Egypt is significantly expanding its golf dominance in the Middle East and Africa: The Madinaty Golf Club has secured two Asian Development Tour events, brimming with a total of $250,000 in prize money. This is not just a bold statement, but it definitively propels the region onto the international golf scene, showing that more than just pyramids impress here.
Each of the two tournaments, taking place from September 23rd to 26th and from September 28th to October 1st, offers a hefty $125,000 and counts as the 13th and 14th rounds of the Egyptian Golf Series. Over 30 nationalities will compete as established pros and hungry rookies measure themselves on the green, hailed by the federation as 'Egypt's and Africa's best golf course.' Madinaty already demonstrated its capacity in 2025 at the Egyptian Open and in 2022 at an Asian Tour Global Event, proving its ability to host significant tournaments.
Egypt's Plan: No Coincidence, But Strategy
Anyone thinking this is a coincidence is greatly mistaken. This double-header of events is a clear strategic move by the Egyptian Golf Federation to further solidify its position as a top destination. The back-to-back dates are also a clever move to minimize travel expenses and maximize efficiency for golfers and organizers – a lot is clearly running smoothly behind the scenes.
Anticipation in the Desert: What Else is Coming?
Excitement is building, as the official information was only released today. However, we are still keenly interested: Who all will be competing? Will there be live streams to watch? And what ranking points will be awarded on top of that? One thing is clear: when the ball rolls at Madinaty, it will be a spectacle.
