GOLF – The Mena Golf Tour will open its 2026-27 season in Cairo with three tournaments at Madinaty Golf Club and New Giza Golf Club between November 28 and December 10, with membership for the new season opening on October 22, it was announced yesterday.
Both courses hosted the tour last season when Juan Salama set a course record 60 on his way to a wire-to-wire victory at Madinaty and Lauri Ruuska closed with a 62 to win at New Giza.
The season will feature a minimum of 12 tournaments and at least $1.2 million in prize money, with every event carrying a minimum $100,000 prize fund and $18,000 to the winner.
The cut falls after 36 holes at the top 60 and ties, with every player who makes it receiving prize money and Official World Golf Ranking points.
Further tournaments, including events in Morocco and the UAE, will be announced shortly.
Costs for players are unchanged from last season, with annual membership at $995 and tournament entry at $550.

Leading players on the 2026-27 Mena Golf Tour Rankings will have a clear route to the next level, with exemptions onto the HotelPlanner Tour and into the DP World Tour Qualifying School, and invitations to HotelPlanner Tour events throughout the season.
Last season’s Rankings winner, Chris Wood, sealed his HotelPlanner Tour card and won his first start of the season at the Italian Challenge Open in May.
