Oman Golf Classic cooks up sponsor deal

Luxury holiday destination Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa has renewed its sponsorship of the National Bank of Oman Golf Classic ahead of the 2014 edition.

The event, part of the European Tour’s Challenge Tour, will take place at Almouj Golf in Muscat, Oman from October 30 to November 2.

Following a successful partnership last year, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa will provide catering at the tournament’s VIP pavilion.

A field of 114 players will compete for a share of the NBO Golf Classic’s $330,000 (€250,000) prize fund as they chase qualification for next year’s European Tour.

The financial terms of the agreement between Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa and the NBO Golf Classic were not disclosed.
