A look at the history of the Bahrain Championship

The Bahrain Championship is making its debut on the DP World Tour during the 2024 season. It will be the circuit's return to Bahrain after the Volvo Golf Championship was played there in 2011.

The 2011 Volvo Golf Championship was played on the Montgomerie Course at the Royal Golf Club of Bahrain, the same venue that will host the Bahrain Championship. It is a 7,261-yard, par-72 course designed by Scottish star Colin Montgomerie.

That 2011 tournament was won by Paul Casey with a score of 20-under 268, one stroke behind Peter Hanson and Miguel Angel Jimenez. The tournament had three other editions, all played in South Africa.

In 2012, the Montgomerie Course hosted the Bahrain Invitational, an exhibition tournament in which Colin Montgomerie, Paul Casey, Thomas Bjorn, and Suzann Pettersen played. The event was also graced by tennis player Tim Henman, American footballer Joe Montana, and soccer players Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli.

The Bahrain tournament is the 10th of the 2024 DP World Tour season and the penultimate of five events played in the Middle East at this stage of the year. The circuit is having an extensive international season and will not return to European soil until the end of May (Soudal Open, Belgium).

In fact, the 2024 DP World Tour season will be extremely global. Excluding the four majors, the circuit will reach 21 different countries.
