The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters has been officially confirmed as part of the DP World Tour’s 2025 global schedule, securing its place as the fifth consecutive event in the Middle East to kick off the year.

The tournament will return to Doha Golf Club from February 6-9 and will have a prize fund of $2.5million, with 3,500 Race to Dubai points and 1,000 Ryder Cup points available.

It will be the 28th edition of the event, which will be part of the International Swing – the second of five Global Swings which form the first phase of the DP World Tour’s 2025 season.

The tournament will end a five-week streath in the Middl East, following the Team Cup, Dubai Desert Classic, Ras Al Khaimah Championship and the Bahrain Championship.

Ben Cowen, the DP World Tour’s Chief Tournament and Operations Officer, said: “The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters is always a popular tournament with our members and we are delighted to be returning to Doha Golf Club in February as part of our International Swing.

“Our thanks go to the Qatar Olympic Committee and the Qatar Golf Association for their continued commitment to this tournament, and to Commercial Bank, whose title sponsorship extends to a 19th year.”

Japan’s Rikuya Hoshino claimed the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters title in 2024, posting a final round of 68 to finish one shot clear of France’s Ugo Coussaud on 14 under par. Hoshino went on to finish 16th in the 2024 Race to Dubai, earning dual membership on the PGA TOUR for the 2025 season.
