The Emirates Golf Federation would like to thank eGolf Megastore for their support throughout the 2024-2025 season. In addition, the EGF would like to recognize the support from all of the UAE golf clubs and members; without these partnerships and the participation from the players, these events and the UAE golf season would not be a success.

As the EGF season comes to an end, we would like to wish the best of luck to all of the amateurs and professionals playing in the upcoming Dubai Golf Trophy on May 11th and 12th.
