Haydar Alireza, Reza Group Managing Director, said at the event, “This was our first event to kick off the Race To Georgia series, and it was obvious from all players, male & female, that this competition and the ultimate prize, was something very special. I was delighted to see so many Saudi Golfers competing, and a testament to the Golf Saudi’s goal of growing the game, and this on the same day that leading Saudi amateur, Saud Al Sharif won the men’s Jordan Open Golf Championship, a great achievement. The support we received from the Golf Saudi operations team at the Dirab course was truly first class.”
