European Ryder Cup trio Martin Kaymer, Sergio Garcia and Paul Lawrie will compete at this month’s €1.9 million Qatar Masters, organisers said yesterday.
Kaymer, who holed the putt that ensured Europe retained the Ryder Cup in Illinois in September, has a good record in the Middle East having won the Abu Dhabi Championship three times.
“I’m playing well after a slow start to last season and it was great to finish the year with a trophy in South Africa,” the German said about his win in last month’s Sun City Challenge.
Scot Lawrie will be defending the Qatar Masters title he won 12 months ago.
