The Commercialbank Qatar Masters is boasting a unique hole-in-one prize with a $150,000 luxury cruiser on offer to the first player ace the par three 17th hole at Doha Golf Club when the tournament takes place from January 25-28.

For the first time in the event’s ten-year history, Alfardan Marine has come on board to offer a 26-foot Doral Monticello luxury cruiser for the first player able to hole his tee shot on the par-three 17th hole .

Further sponsorship announcements align two of the Gulf state’s strongest corporate brands, with Qatar Airways appointed the official airline for the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.

The agreement means Qatar Airways will play a key supporting role to the event’s title sponsor, the Commercialbank of Qatar, when £2.2 million event, co-sanctioned by The European Tour and the Asian Tour, is staged at Doha Golf Club later this month.

A further boost to the tournament is the announcement that the InterContinental Doha, one of Qatar’s award-winning five-star hotels, has been appointed Official Hotel for the tenth Commercialbank Qatar Masters.

Conveniently located within ten minutes of the major central business district, the diplomatic area, the city centre and Doha Golf Club, the InterContinental Doha combines heritage and luxury with contemporary comfort. To be found in the prestigious West Bay area overlooking the blue waters of the Gulf, the hotel boasts the largest free-form swimming pool and longest private beach in the city

The 2007 Commercialbank Qatar Masters will see a field of 120 golfers – including household names such as Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and Chris DiMarco – in action at the Doha Golf Club.
