Bapco Energies, the integrated energy company leading the energy transition in the Kingdom of Bahrain, was today named as the Title Partner of the Bahrain Championship, set to take place at the Royal Golf Club from January 30-February 2, 2025.
Last year saw the DP World Tour visit the Kingdom for the first time since 2011, and the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship returns in 2025 as one of five events in the Middle East as part of the International Swing on the Race to Dubai. Fans are able to witness the action with FREE general admission tickets now available here.
Moving up from presenting partner to title sponsor, Bapco Energies is taking the tournament to new heights and reaffirming its commitment to the growth of Bahrain’s premier international golf event.
The partnership focuses on elevating the tournament experience for players, stakeholders, and spectators alike, establishing the event as a world-class attraction. Bapco Energies is pioneering environmental initiatives, including powering hospitality units and structures with solar energy and batteries. The 2025 event will also feature hydrogen-powered buses, setting the stage for a carbon-neutral tournament in the near future.
Mark Thomas, Group Chief Executive Officer of Bapco Energies, said: “Becoming the Title Partner of the Bahrain Championship is a proud milestone for Bapco Energies as we deepen our commitment to this world-class event and to the Kingdom of Bahrain. This partnership is about more than just golf; it’s about showcasing Bahrain on the global stage, advancing sustainability in sports, and creating unforgettable experiences for players, spectators, and stakeholders. By pioneering initiatives like solar-powered hospitality and hydrogen-powered transportation, we aim to set a benchmark for environmentally conscious sporting events, all while celebrating the spirit of competition and community.”
Faris Al-Kooheji, Secretary General of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, stated: “We are delighted to have Bapco Energies as the Title Partner for the Bahrain Championship. This collaboration not only showcases Bahrain's growing reputation in the world of sports, but it also underscores our commitment to sustainability and excellence. We believe this championship will enhance our sporting landscape and inspire future generations to engage with golf and other sports. None of this would be possible without the support we receive from of our leadership.”
The tournament, which features a $2.5 million prize fund, follows the Team Cup, the Hero Dubai Desert Classic - the first Rolex Series event of the season - and the Ras Al Khaimah Championship as one of eight events on the International Swing.
