CELEBRATING 25 YEARS – A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE 1999

Established in 1999

In November 1999 many thought we were crazy to launch a monthly golf magazine in the region when there were very few golf courses and half of those were sand. Tiger Woods was starting to make his mark on the sport while Rory McIlroy was in primary school. In the same year the Euro currency was launched and the Burj Al Arab was completed. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary this month, we look back on some of the historic golfing moments that have unfolded since our launch edition.

 

“Worldwide Golf has been a key part of the golf scene in the region since it launched back in 1999. The first edition came out only around seven months after I arrived and it was quite unusual to have a golf magazine in this part of the world at that time. But it turned out to be great timing and it’s been amazing to have a regional publication to promote and support local golf industry. 

Worldwide Golf stands as a great record of the many developments and changes that have taken place in the local golf industry over the past 25 years. We could never have predicted the growth that has occurred since that first edition but they’ve been there to document it all every step of the way. We’re very grateful to everyone at Worldwide Golf for their continuing support and look forward to the next 25 years!”

“Worldwide Golf has been a steady source of UAE golf news since the start. The Emirates Golf Federation is proud to sanction this publication as its played a key role in the growth in regional golf industry over the past 25 years. WWG’s commitment to promoting the sport has inspired players and provided the UAE golfing community a platform for exposure. We celebrate their dedication and look forward to continued collaboration in the years to come.”

“Congratulations to Worldwide Golf on celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. Worldwide Golf’s inception coincided with the boom of golf in the UAE, and they have been there every step of the way as part of their huge support of our sport in this region.
