“I am looking forward to playing in the 2018 NBO Oman Open in February,” said three-time European Tour winner Sullivan as the event was officially announced at a press conference held at the National Bank of Oman headquarters, under the auspices of HE Dr Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil & Gas.
“I have always enjoyed playing golf in the region and it’s exciting to play in a new country that I have not played before. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Oman in just a few weeks’ time.”
