Bapco Energies, the integrated energy company in the Kingdom of Bahrain, will become the Title Partner of the Bahrain Championship, the second edition of which takes place at Royal Golf Club from January 30-February 2.
The Bahrain Championship will be the fifth stop in five weeks in the Middle East, starting with the Team Cup, a Ryder Cup-style showdown between Great Britain & Ireland and Continental Europe, from January 10-12. This will be followed by the $9 million Hero Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club and the Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
The Bahrain Championship was revived last year after the DP World Tour’s last visit to the Kingdom in 2011.
Bapco Energies moved up from being a presenting partner earlier this year to title sponsors in 2025, and Mark Thomas, Group Chief Executive Officer of Bapco Energies commented: “Becoming the Title Partner of the Bahrain Championship is a proud milestone for Bapco Energies as we deepen our commitment to this world-class event and to the Kingdom of Bahrain.
“This partnership is about more than just golf; it’s about showcasing Bahrain on the global stage, advancing sustainability in sports, and creating unforgettable experiences for players, spectators, and stakeholders. By pioneering initiatives like solar-powered hospitality and hydrogen-powered transportation, we aim to set a benchmark for environmentally conscious sporting events, all while celebrating the spirit of competition and community.”
The partnership focuses on elevating the tournament experience for players, stakeholders, and spectators alike. Bapco Energies is pioneering environmental initiatives, including powering hospitality units and structures with solar energy and batteries. The 2025 event will also feature hydrogen-powered buses, setting the stage for a carbon-neutral tournament in the near future.
The tournament will offer a total prize purse of $2.5 million. South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli won the championship in February this year.
Faris Al-Kooheji, Secretary General of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, added: “We are delighted to have Bapco Energies as the Title Partner for the Bahrain Championship. This collaboration not only showcases Bahrain’s growing reputation in the world of sports, but also underscores our commitment to sustainability and excellence.
“We believe this championship will enhance our sporting landscape and inspire future generations to engage with golf and other sports. None of this would be possible without the support we receive from of our leadership.”
Apart from free general admission, premium experiences are available for spectators to access the Clubhouse and enjoy spectacular views of the action on the 18th fairway and green from the private terrace. Early bird pricing for this is from BHD15.
The Championship Chalet will provide a 5-star premium hospitality offering with 5-star buffet-style food and beverages. Limited early bird Chalet tickets can be purchased from BHD110.
