ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 19, 2023 — Genesis enters its second year as the official vehicle sponsor of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, held from January 19-22 at Yas Links Abu Dhabi.
In partnership with the Abu Dhabi Sports Council and the DP World Tour, Genesis and Juma Al Majid Est, the official distributor of Genesis in the region, will be providing a fleet of 40 cars to transport VIPs and players throughout the tournament.
Genesis’ brand presence will be visible throughout the course with several display stands, where spectators can experience Genesis vehicles, including the G70, G80, GV70, and GV80. Visitors may schedule a test drive and speak to a Genesis representative to learn more about the Genesis lineup. Fans will also have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the sport through golf simulator challenges and win exclusive gifts.
The first player to ace the 17th hole will receive a G70 Shooting Brake, which can also be seen on the Genesis hole-in-one stand.
“We are extremely delighted to enter the second year of our five-year sponsorship deal with Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship,” said Omar al Zubaidi, Head of Genesis Middle East & Africa. “Golf as a sport lies at the heart of the Genesis brand, and we look forward to continuing this second chapter of our partnership, while showcasing our unique brand experience for the duration of the tournament.”
