Transformation of UAE into a Global Golfing Center through Sheikh Saeed's Devoted Efforts
Spanning 30 Years, Prosports International Shapes UAE's Golfing Journey
In the heart of the Arabian Gulf lays a pivotal figure in the evolution of UAE golfing culture – Prosports International. With roots traceable to 1995, the company was birthed from a casual game of golf at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club [1][4]. Since then, it's grown into the premier golf retailer in the UAE, seizing a market leader position within the regional golf industry.
Headed by Sheikh Saeed Mohamed Hasher Al Maktoum, Prosports International has played a fundamental and transformative role in the UAE's golfing narrative. From its humble beginnings, the company expanded into a driving force behind the UAE's rise as a global golfing hub [1][2].
Fueled by an unyielding passion for the sport and admiration for Emirati athletes, Sheikh Saeed's dedication to developing local talent paved the way for the company's rise [1]. "All we were doing was something we enjoyed," said Sheikh Saeed, "and in a way, we were fortunate that things moved in the right direction as far as golf's growth here" [1].
Prosports International has collaborated with prestigious international golf brands such as Titleist, FootJoy, Ping, and Greg Norman, ensuring UAE golfers have access to the most innovative and premium golf equipment and apparel [1]. Furthermore, the company was a critical ally in the European Tour's expansion into the Middle East [1].
Behind the scenes, Prosports International has been servicing partner golf clubs exceptionally and fostering the growth of Emirati golfers, adding to the appeal of golf throughout the UAE [1][2]. Their dedication created a strong golf culture that put the UAE squarely on the global golf map [2].
Sheikh Saeed's visionary leadership, paired with Prosports International's holistic approach, has transformed the UAE into a recognized golfing destination, attracting international players, tournaments, and investment [1][2]. By connecting international golf brands with the UAE market and supporting professional tours, the company has served to elevate the standards and prominence of golf in the region [1][2].
Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Prosports International embodies a crucial segment of the UAE's golfing story – one of strategic partnerships, infrastructure support, and a passion-driven leadership dedicated to advancing golf across the nation.
