The DP World Tour continues its Middle Eastern swing with this week’s Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship at Royal Golf Club, Bahrain, from 29 January to 1 February.
The third event on the International Swing features a prize fund of USD $2,750,000, with the winner set to take home more than $450,000.
Multiple Major winner Pádraig Harrington headlines the field and is joined by Masters champion Sergio Garcia. The championship will also feature a strong Olympic presence, with Harrington, Garcia, Matteo Manassero, Guido Migliozzi, Thomas Detry, Ashun Wu, Bernd Wiesberger, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Antoine Rozner all having represented their nations at the Olympic Games.
Former Bahrain champion Dylan Frittelli returns to the Kingdom, while the field is further strengthened by a strong contingent of multiple DP World Tour winners. This includes Rolex Series winners Paul Waring, Cabrera Bello and Wiesberger, alongside Thriston Lawrence, Pablo Larrazábal and Ewen Ferguson. The line-up is completed by current Race to Dubai leader Jayden Schaper and 2025 Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year Martin Couvra.
Three Bahraini amateurs have also been confirmed to compete on home soil. Ahmed Alzayed, winner of Best Bahraini at the King Hamad Trophy, Khalifa Almaraisi, the top-ranked Bahrain Golf Association player for 2025, and Ali Mohamed Alkowari, who secured his place by winning the National Team Qualifying tournament, are all set to tee it up at Royal Golf Club this week.
