The par-72 Doha Golf Club is the venue for the 2022 Qatar Masters, and last year’s winner will be back to defend his title.
The course, which opened in 1997, is known for its eight strategically positioned lakes, limestone formations and long, lush fairways. It’s the first time the tournament has been held at the course since 2019, having been hosted at Education City Golf Club for the past two years. Last year, Frenchman Antoine Rozner took the title by a single shot when he holed an incredible 60-foot putt at the final hole, and he’ll be back this year hoping to perform similar heroics.
Other players to look out for include South African Justin Harding, who won the last time the tournament was held in Doha, bookies’ favourite Dean Burmester, and Englishman Jordan Smith, who has finished runner-up twice in 2022 so far, most recently at the MyGolfLife Open earlier in the month. With this year's tournament rescheduled from February because of Covid restrictions, it coincides with the WGC-Match Play in Austin. As a result, the field is slightly weaker than usual. Indeed, Belgian Thomas Pieters and Englishman Richard Bland, who both competed in last year’s tournament, will be playing in Texas this week instead.
While there are not any names from the current world top 50 in this year’s field, it perhaps offers a greater opportunity to those competing to win their share of the $2m purse, which is up from last year’s $1.5m. Meanwhile, the winner will earn $333,330.
