GOLF – THE 2026 edition of the AMH Island Classic Charity Golf Tournament tees off today at the private golf course of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa in Saffriya.
The event will be bringing together golfers, sponsors, and distinguished guests for three days of competitive golf in support of a meaningful cause.
Held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad, the prestigious tournament is organised by American Mission Hospital (AMH) and raises funds in support of the hospital’s community outreach programs and charitable initiatives.
The tournament will begin today with the first flight teeing off at 7am, followed by the official opening ceremony at 12noon.
A second flight of golfers will then take to the course as the tournament continues under the popular Florida Format.
A number of side competitions will also take place throughout the event.
“His Majesty the King’s Private Golf Course offers a truly unique golfing experience, and players look forward each year to the opportunity to compete on this exceptional course,” said AMH corporate CEO Dr George Cheriyan. “We are deeply grateful to His Majesty for his generosity in allowing us to host the Island Classic at this prestigious venue.
“We also extend our sincere appreciation to all our sponsors and golfers whose support and participation continue to contribute greatly to the success of the tournament and the community initiatives it supports.”
The tournament celebrations will conclude with the Island Classic Gala Dinner on November 22 at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel and Spa, where sponsoring companies will be recognised and honoured for their valued contributions to the event and its charitable mission.
