The 2025 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters is here, and if you love high-stakes golf, you’re in for a treat. This marks the fourth event of the DP World Tour’s ‘International Swing’. It’s also the last Middle Eastern event before the Tour circles back for the playoffs in November. Since making its debut in 1998, this event has seen some of the biggest names in golf lift the trophy, like Paul Lawrie, Adam Scott, Ernie Els, Henrik Stenson, Retief Goosen, Robert Karlsson, Thomas Bjørn, and Sergio Garcia. Safe to say, it’s got a pretty solid history.

One guy who’s been making moves? Laurie Canter. He jumped ahead of Tyrrell Hatton in the International Swing Rankings after winning the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship, but things are far from settled. Daniel Hillier, Alejandro del Rey, Marcus Armitage, Dan Brown, and Pablo Larrazábal all have a shot at claiming that top spot, all they need is to come in full form to snag that victory. However, how can we catch all the action?

Where to watch the 2025 Qatar Masters?

If you’re tuning in from the UK, Sky Sports Golf has you covered—live coverage kicks off at 9:00 AM for the first three rounds, with the final round airing slightly earlier at 8:30 AM on Sunday, February 9th. For fans in the U.S., The Golf Channel (or TBC) will be your go-to for all the action.

And don’t worry. The broadcast team has you covered—Andrew Coltart, Tony Johnstone, and Richard Boxall will be on commentary, with Anthony Wall and John E Morgan reporting from the course. Gabbie Partington will handle interviews, bringing us the best reactions like hotcakes from the players.

The field is stacked with past Qatar Masters champions, too. Ewen Ferguson, Antoine Rozner, Jorge Campillo, Justin Harding, Eddie Pepperell, Alvaro Quiros, Chris Wood, and Darren Fichardt are all back in the mix, hoping to add another title to their resumes. These guys will want to finish strong and the Race to Dubai takes a brief pause after this event before heading to Kenya and South Africa.

But aside from all the excitement of the strong field, there’s a lot more on the line this week.

What’s on the line for players?

If you think players are only fighting it out for the title, think again. Here’s a hefty $2.5 million purse on the line, with the winner walking away with $425,000. Not bad for a week’s work, right? Yes, the pot prize in most golf tournaments becomes one of the few reasons this sport attracts a lot of people. 

But it’s not just about the cash. In addition, the winner will earn 3,500 Race to Dubai points—huge for those eyeing the season-long standings—plus 1,000 Ryder Cup points, which could be a game-changer for anyone hoping to represent their team in golf’s biggest showdown. It’s one premium event players can’t afford to miss. 

So yeah, there’s plenty at stake this week in Qatar. Expect the competition to be fierce!
