Qatar Masters
We got close last week with In-gee Chun finishing fourth in the Drive on Championship and Richy Werenski ($660) tied for third with nine to go on the PGA Tour.
The European Tour kicks off at the new (2019) Education City golf course designed by Jose Louis Olazabal in Doha, Qatar. The course which mirrors Olazabals inquisitive talented nature is a difficult 7306 yard par 72 layout.

The ladies don’t play this week, and the PGA Tour heads to Ponte Vedra beach for the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass a 7245 yard (6625m) par 72 a difficult course particularly when it’s windy with a CR of 76.4 and a Slope rating of 155. Designed by Pete and Alice Dye the course features a number of quirky holes including the island 17th which often determines the winner.
