UAE golfers eye glory at Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Dubai
September 10, 2025
|Khaleej Times
When the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC) returns to Dubai this October, it will be more than just another prestigious golf event; it will mark a defining moment for the UAE.

For the first time, five Emirati players will represent their nation together at one of amateur golf’s most celebrated stages, competing on home turf at Emirates Golf Club’s iconic Majlis Course from October 23-26, 2025.
The AAC, founded in 2009 by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC), The R&A and the Masters Tournament, has a reputation for shaping futures. Its champion earns a coveted invitation to the 2026 Masters Tournament at Augusta National as well as a place in The 154th Open. The runner-up secures entry into The Open Qualifying Series, while the top three gain exemption into The Amateur Championship.
For the UAE, all eyes will be on Ahmad Skaik, the nation’s leading amateur, who will make his sixth AAC appearance. The pivotal moment in his career came at the 2021 edition at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, where he became only the second Emirati in history to make the cut.

To treat prostate cancer, there are more options than ever
An estimated one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, often after 65. And as terrifying as that number is, a diagnosis isn't always quite what it seems.
