In 1992, The European Tour devised a format for golf stars whose prime years are behind them; since then, the Senior Tour has been playing host to players aged 50+.
The Senior Tour has travelled far and wide but has not landed on Emirati soil since 2000.
That is set to change as players prepare to tee off at the Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club. While larger emirates have revelled in their golfing events, this will mark the first instance in history for Sharjah to host a professional golf competition.
The inaugural 54-hole event comes to existence with merit to the alliance between the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and the European Senior Tour.
