Former Dubai resident Toby Bishop leads Clutch Pro Tour's Al Hamra Championship

Golf in uae, golf in uae uae.

Welshman cards a four under par 68 at Al Hamra Golf Club

If anyone assumed that former Dubai resident Toby Bishop would put his feet up during a two-week break from the U.S. collegiate golf system, they were in for a surprise when they saw the youngster surge to the top of the leaderboard at the Clutch Pro Tour's Al Hamra Championship.

The Welshman, who left Dubai in 2022 to join the Florida Gators, was one of the hottest amateur golfers in the UAE before making the move to the States, winning five events from six to top the Emirates Golf Federation’s Order of Merit.

And he continued that fine form on UAE soil once again two years later, carding a four under par 68 at Al Hamra Golf Club to open up a one stroke lead over Callan Barrow and Ahmed Ali after 18 holes.

“Today was a great round to start the tournament,” Bishop told Gulf News.

“Obviously there were windy conditions out there today which made the course quite challenging, but I feel in control of my game right now.

“Being back at home has really helped. Even though I haven’t lived here for two years, the UAE still feels like home for me, so I have a big sense of comfort out on the course.

“I originally struggled in my freshman year when moving to the U.S., I had a tough first year adjusting and trying to get my feet on the ground, but in my first semester this year I’ve started to see some improvements.

“I still feel that I’m not at that level in tournament play that I was at when I lived here, but I’m pretty confident that all parts of my game have been improving.

“For me, it was just about getting some more tournament reps in, so I was really grateful to get a couple of events under my belt on the Clutch Pro Tour.

“I’m feeling in a really comfortable place, happy being back at home and looking forward to the next two rounds."

The Clutch Pro Tour, which is the official feeder Tour to the Challenge Tour, is making its debut in the UAE this week. The circuit prides itself in being an 'open access' pro golf tour, offering high quality tournaments that provide a platform for player development.

The Emirates Golf Federation received 20 invitations into the event and next week’s Al Zorah Masters, the second of two events on the International Series, which have gone to young professionals in the region, local amateurs and UAE National Team players.

Mizuno Next Gen Pro Am at Gloria Event :: All Tournament Results

Tier 1 Order Of Merit

• DP World Tour

The Rapid Rise of the Clutch Pro Tour

• By Richard Cole
• August 1, 2023

The Clutch Tour , a third-tier golf tour recognized by the European Tour, was founded in 2020 by former professional golfer Tom Hayward, who wanted to create a more accessible and inclusive tour for players of all backgrounds and abilities. It was launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the schedules and incomes of many golfers, especially those at the lower levels of the sport. The Tour aimed to provide a safe and competitive environment for players to showcase their skills and earn a living from the game they love.

The Tour consists of four tiers: the Clutch Pro Tour, the Clutch Amateur Tour, the Clutch Junior Tour, and the Clutch Super Series. Each tier has its own schedule, prize money, and ranking system, but they all share the same vision of providing equal opportunities and exposure for male and female golfers.

The Clutch Pro Tour started with a few events in March 2020, before expanding to a full season of 15 events from June to October 2020. It attracted some notable players, such as Andy Sullivan, who won the Stoneham event in July 2020 with a record-breaking score of 27-under-par. The inaugural Order of Merit was won by Mitch Waite, who is currently playing on the European Challenge Tour.

The 2021 season saw the Tour grow in size and stature, with 22 official events and increased prize money. The tour also partnered with several sponsors, such as Mojo Masters, Bluespace Media, and Simplicity Digital. The season featured some impressive performances, such as Harley Smith’s win at the Prince’s Classic as an amateur, Curtis Knipes’ two victories at The Belfry and Remedy Oak, and Henry Sheridan-Mills’ double triumph at the Bluespace Media South of England Open and Kedleston Park Classic. The 2021 Order of Merit was won by Australian, Daniel Gaunt.

The 2022 season , titled as the Mizuno Next Gen Series for sponsorship reasons, was the third season of the Clutch Pro Tour and consisted of 25 events, including six majors, with a total prize fund of £700,000. The tour also offered 44 Challenge Tour, 5 DP World Tour and 1 LET invite for the top performers. Highlights included OJ Farrell, who won two events and finished second in the Order of Merit and George Bloor , who won the Mizuno Open, one of the majors, and also qualified for the Challenge Tour. The Order of Merit ultimately being won by Giles Evans with two wins and nine top-10 finishes.

In December 2022, it was announced that the Clutch Pro Tour and the Tartan Pro Tour would become official feeder tours to the Challenge Tour in place of the now-defunct PGA EuroPro Tour. The Clutch Pro Tour would offer Challenge Tour status to the top two players on the Order of Merit, as well as invitations to selected events for other high-ranked players.

The 2023 season saw another huge increase in prize money, with 15 Tier 1 events offering a guaranteed purse of £60,000 and another 3 events with a £100,000 purse. The total Tour purse for Tiers 1 & 2 was increased to an impressive £1.8 million. On top of that, the Tour will be providing over 40 invites onto the Challenge Tour and DP World Tour, helping to continue its core mission of developing up and coming talent. As of the end of July 2023, there have been 12 completed Tier 1 events, with Brandon Robinson Thompson leading the order of merit following three wins and six top-10s in the 9 tournaments played. Following his latest win at the end of June, Brandon followed this up by qualifying for the 151st British Open, where he made the cut, eventually finishing 59th. With 5 more events remaining in the season before the Tour Championship at Royal Norwich, it promises to be another exciting season on the Tour.

The Clutch Pro Tour is a remarkable success story that showcases the resilience and talent of professional golfers in the UK. It has provided a platform for players to showcase their skills, earn a living, and progress their careers during challenging times. More importantly, it has also attracted attention from fans, media, sponsors, and other tours, who have recognized the quality and potential of the tour and its players. The Clutch Pro Tour is not only a feeder tour to the Challenge Tour and the DP World Tour hierarchy; it is also a tour that stands on its own merits and delivers exciting golf entertainment.

The Clutch Pro Tour - The New UK Golf Tour For Male and Female Pros

The Clutch Pro Tour may be the career-boost than many pros are looking for this year

The Clutch Pro Tour may offer the career-boost than many professionals are looking for this year

Whilst many pro golfers in the UK may be struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Clutch Pro Tour is offering the chance to fast-track their careers.

The ambitious new tour - which is the brainchild of golf professional, Tom Hayward - is based in the UK and is open to both male and female players.

It offers huge incentives, such as a £10,000 first prize for a 'Major', plus the top three players at the end of the season will have their European Tour Qualifying School fees covered.

"I just thought there should be more opportunities out there for players where they can go and win something substantial," says Hayward, who struggled to find somewhere to compete after missing out at Qualifying School in 2018.

"For mini tour players, sponsorship is hard to come by. We’re just trying to offer a really exciting and interesting platform for players with genuine opportunities for development."

The new 2020 schedule boasts £200,000 in prize money and the tour has received backing from Modest! Golf management as well as Cobra Puma Golf, who will be running its own Order of Merit.

Modest! Golf is co-owned by Niall Horan, and it manages the likes of Tyrrell Hatton , Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Guido Migliozzi.

"We are always very passionate about providing opportunities for young players as they start out on their journey," says Modest! Golf's Mark McDonnell.

"You win one of these events for £10,000 and that can pay for a lot of the travel costs for the first six, seven months of the season for these younger guys who have limited schedules. It's life changing for them."

The Clutch Pro Tour will visit some of England's finest inland courses, with the next Major taking place later this month at the stunning Notts Golf Club.

The 18-hole tournaments have already attracted a number of top professionals, including European Tour stars, such as Matthew Southgate and Steven Brown.

In July, 'The Open Access Masters' at Sunningdale Heath will unite the stars of the European and Ladies European Tours in a split field boasting equal prize money.

The field gets stronger by the day, with four-time Major winner Dame Laura Davies, LET star Meghan MacLaren and the highly-rated Connor Syme already confirmed.

This year's overall champion will receive full status for the 2020/2021 MENA Tour (Middle East North Africa), which is an Official World Golf Ranking-sanctioned tour that is an official feeder tour to the Challenge Tour.

In addition, the 2020 Clutch Pro Tour winner will receive a year's Mizuno sponsorship, featuring a full bag of equipment: driver, metal woods, a full set of irons and wedges, a season’s worth of balls and gloves, two pairs of shoes, a Tour Bag and clothing from Mizuno’s range of performance apparel.

CBS's Jim Nantz fires shot at LIV Tour players during home stretch at Masters

Jim Nantz gives 'attaboy' to PGA golfers, who man top 5 spots

Steve Silverman

The drama of Sunday afternoon at the Masters is usually a duel that includes the game's top players and is not decided until one star makes a decisive shot on the 72nd hole and wins the green jacket. That was not the case at the 2024 Masters, because Scottie Scheffler seized control of the tournament on the ninth hole and never gave the rest of the field a chance. However, as Scheffler was dominating, CBS lead announcer Jim Nantz looked at the leaderboard and pointed out that the top five performers were all PGA golfers.

@TheMasters Jim Nance stuck it to Liv Golf when he mentioned the top five on the Masters leaderboard are PGA Tour golfers. pic.twitter.com/oQ9V46wiyS — davewillieradio (@davewillieradio) April 14, 2024

@jimnance with the cheap shot of "all the players on the leaderboard are members of the PGA Tour." Totally unnecessary and borderline classless….and I like Nance. #Masters — Mark Doebler (@Coach_Mark) April 14, 2024

One of the bigger side stories of Masters week was the rivalry between the established PGA and the rival LIV Tour that had procured many of the game's top players in recent years. LIV golf leadership looked at the Masters as a chance for stars like Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, and others to compete with the PGA golfers.

Many expected Rahm and Koepka to put on a show, but Scheffler was not about to let that happen, and Ludvig Aberg, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, and Tommy Fleetwood all followed suit. The closest LIV golfer to the top of the leaderboard was DeChambeau, who finished in a tie for sixth at 2 under par. DeChambeau had been the first round leader after shooting a seven under par 65, but he was unable to keep up anything close to that pace over the ensuing three rounds.

Jim Nantz stands up for PGA and golf establishment in Masters analysis

It's difficult to look at Nantz as anything but a spokesman for the old guard PGA, his network, and the golf establishment at this point. As Scheffler was making his way through the middle portion of the back nine, it was clear that the No. 1 golfer in the world had put away the field. Nantz made it a point to say that Scheffler's closest competitors were all from the PGA.

Several golf fans took note of Nantz's tone and labeled it something of a cheap shot, but before the start of the tournament, several LIV supporters expected their top players to dominate.

However, LIV golfers regularly play 54-hole tournaments and they are allowed to wear shorts when they compete on resort-type courses and not PGA Tour-level courses. It appeared to have an impact in the overall Masters competition.

Scheffler's steady play allowed him to take his second green jacket

Scheffler won his first Masters in 2022 and his championship Sunday was his second in three years. He was the odds-on favorite going into the tournament and he never gave any indication that there was any other player in the field — PGA or LIV — who was good enough to wrestle the title away from him.

His competitors all had issues during the back nine at the Masters, but Scheffler was able to successfully navigate every challenge put in front of him.

He won the tournament with a score of 11 under par 277, defeating Aberg by four strokes.
