  • All fit in: Westley Burke (c), winner of September 1 event, with his friends.

    Cadillac, sponsors of one of the big­gest golf tournaments in the world, the World Golf Championship-Cadillac Championship, have now thrown their weight behind the newly-formed Cadillac Golf Cup League (CGCL) in the UAE.

    The CGCL is a series of 15 weekly competitions that is being held eve­ry Monday from August 25 through December 8 at the Emirates Golf Club’s Faldo course.

    The winner of each weekly CGCL competition will drive home in a Cadillac for a week, apart from prizes for runners-up. Golfers with an official Emirates Golf Federa­tion (EGF) handicap of 20 or below can join the league by signing up at cadillacgolf.ae/index.php/join/

    Players will also receive points based on their finish in each tour­nament and the top 40 players will be invited to play in the Cadillac Golf Cup Finale on December 15. The winner of the Cadillac Golf Cup will be given a pro-am spot in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, of which Cadillac is the Official Car.

    Two events have already been held, with Pontus Fredriksson, General Manager, Finance, Gulf Agency Company (Dubai), winning the inaugural event on August 25, followed by Westley Burke, Design & Engineering Manager at Space­maker, triumphing in the Septem­ber 1 tournament.

    A delighted Fredriksson, who took home a Cadillac XTS for a week, said: “I first heard about the Cadillac Golf Cup League when I was paired with Fredrik Schauman during the Club Championship at EGC. The league has exceeded my expectations and I’m very proud of being the first win­ner of the League.”

    The next event in the League is scheduled for September 15.

    Felix Weller, Director of Cadil­lac Sales & Marketing, GM Mid­dle East, said: “We very much look forward to this collaboration. Since becoming the title sponsor of this competition, Cadillac has not only been committed to elevating its stature, but also to offering the unique experience of Cadillac to the UAE golf community.”

    Fredrik Schauman, the organ­izer and one of the key players in the league, stated: “We welcome the addition of Cadillac into our lifestyle. We know the league is now on a stronger foundation than ever before. The support of Cadillac has been nothing short of incredible throughout the entire process. To­gether, we will take the league to the next level.”

    Cadillac has been a leading luxu­ry auto brand since 1902, offering a diverse portfolio of award-winning cars around the world and in the Middle East, where it has now had a presence for the last 85 years.
