The Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship returns to Royal Golf Club this week for its second edition as the third event in the DP World Tour's International Swing.
The tournament, with a $2.5 million prize fund, features nine of the top ten in the swing rankings at Royal Golf Club.
Tyrrell Hatton's victory at last week's Hero Dubai Desert Classic has given him a commanding early lead in the Rankings but with four events to go after this week it is still all to play for.
The winner of the International Swing will gain entry into every event on the Race to Dubai's Second Phase, the Back 9, and a USD$200,000 bonus. There is also an exemption into the Genesis Scottish Open up for grabs.
A victory for either Daniel Hillier, Shaun Norris, John Parry or Johannes Veerman, who occupy second to fifth place on the rankings, will take them above Hatton.
European Tour Productions, the DP World Tour’s in-house production company, will produce and distribute live coverage of the event.
