Golf Digest Middle East - November 2025

Dans ce numéro

Welcome to the November edition of Golf Digest Middle East for 2025.
The season is in full swing, the big stars are back, and the spotlight is firmly on the UAE as world-class golf takes centre stage.
Our cover story this month features Marco Penge, whose remarkable rise has been one of the standout stories of the year. Just 12 months ago, he was battling to keep his DP World Tour card. Fast forward to today, and he’s celebrating three victories, a PGA Tour card, and a Race to Dubai showdown with Rory McIlroy.
Speaking of the Race to Dubai, it’s all happening right here in the UAE. The DP World Tour Play-Offs tee off with the 20th Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links before the grand finale at Jumeirah Golf Estates. Expect fireworks as McIlroy, Åberg, Fleetwood, Fitzpatrick, Hatton, Lowry, and MacIntyre headline a thrilling finish to the season.
We also revisit a memorable Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at Emirates Golf Club, where Thailand’s Fifa Laopakdee claimed the title and Ahmad Skaik delivered a record-breaking performance for the UAE — a milestone for Arab golf.
Over in Saudi Arabia, the PIF Saudi International welcomes Moroccan amateur Adam Bresnu, the 2025 Jack Nicklaus Award winner, as he continues to make his mark on the Asian Tour and inspire a new generation of Arab golfers.
If you’re planning your next golfing getaway, our “Where to Play” feature takes you to Trump International Golf Links in Scotland — a blend of traditional links character and modern design that’s not to be missed.
As always, we’ve packed the issue with instruction, gear, and insight. From Nico Echavarria’s swing advice and David Leadbetter’s bunker tips to a look inside Ben Griffin’s bag, there’s something here for every golfer.
All this and plenty more in the November 2025 edition of Golf Digest Middle East.
