For the first time in the event’s ten-year history, Alfardan Marine has come on board to offer a 26-foot Doral Monticello luxury cruiser for the first player able to hole his tee shot on the par-3 17th hole at the Doha Golf Club from January 25-28.
EXTRA SPICE
Fadi Alyousfi, Associate Vice President of Alfardan Marine Services, said:
“The hole-in-one prize will add extra spice to the occasion and ensure large spectator attendance at the 17th hole over the four days.”
The presence of the $150,000 cruiser floating in the middle of the lake in front of the 156yd 17th hole will be the focus of both public and media attention for a hole-in-one prize that is one of the richest on either the PGA European Tour or the Asian Tour – both Tours sanction the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.
“It’s certainly a wonderful prize to offer for a hole-in-one and we are grateful for Alfardan Marine’s support of the tournament in this way,” said Commercialbank of Qatar Group CEO Andrew Stevens. “And with the quality in our line-up, we certainly have the players capable of taking home the keys to what is a stunning boat.”
The $2.2 million Commercialbank Qatar Masters has attracted a world-class field including Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Chris DiMarco, Sergio Garcia, Stuart Appleby, Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood.

What are your feelings about big prizes, in general, for holes in one, course records, etc? Do they add to a tournament's stature or are they gimmicks that deflect the spotlight from the player who has the lowest 72-hole score.
