As excitement builds for the inaugural UAE Cup, sponsored by HSBC and scheduled from 25 to 27 October at the Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting and Golf Club, Sri Lanka will be represented by Chalitha Pushpika and Kumar Danushan.

The event promises to showcase the top amateur golfers from the UAE and around the globe, with the Elite division competing for coveted World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) points.

Pushpika and Danushan are not just aiming for personal accolades, but also hope to raise Sri Lanka’s profile on the international golf stage. With the opportunity for the top male and female winners to earn invites to Challenge and Ladies European Tour events, the stakes are high.

SriLankan Airlines has sponsored the two players for this tour. The winner of the Elite division will secure a spot in the UAE Challenge Tour.
