    Al Musharrekh has been a regular competitor in professional competitions in recent years, including a number of appearances on the PGA European Tour, notably at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship in which he first competed as a 19-year-old in 2010 and the Dubai Desert Classic.

    The 24-year-old Al Musharrekh said: “It was my childhood dream to become a professional golfer and now that it’s a reality, I couldn’t be happier to have a partner like ADCB beside me.

    “ADCB believes in people who dream big and I’m grateful they have chosen to help support my goals of succeeding at the highest level in my sport.”

    Born in 1990, the Sharjah-based Emirati has been playing on the MENA Tour, which has helped him develop his skills after competing with leading professional and amateur golfers from the Middle East and North Africa, and various other parts of the world.

    At last month’s RAK Classic, he led going into his final round and is already looking forward to bettering his achievements as he works hard in pursuit of his dream of playing full-time on the European Tour.

    Martin Scott, ADCB chief marketing officer, said: “At ADCB, we believe that ambition is the world’s most valuable currency. That’s why we chose to support the goals and aspirations of such a talented and driven individual like Ahmed, who is working hard to visualise and achieve his ambitions.

    “We are confident that Ahmed will carry the ADCB name proudly, demonstrating that true hard work and dedication to a passion does
    indeed pay dividends.”
