A fantastic field has assembled for this tournament including four players in the top-10 on the Official World Golf Ranking. They are Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey and Steve Stricker. The battle for Number 1 on the ranking will resume this week as Martin Kaymer could overtake Lee Westwood at the top of the pile if results go his way. The German will move to Number 1 if he wins and Westwood finishes outside the top-two, or if he is second with Westwood ending the week outside the top-22. The start sheet features a number of exciting names including John Daly, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia.
Like many of the courses in this part of the world, the layout at Doha GC is a Peter Harradine design. Opened for play in 1994, water comes into play on six holes and natural outcrops of rock are also a feature.
This will be the 14th running of the Qatar Masters, first won by Andrew Coltart back in 1998.
In last year's event Robert Karlsson signalled his comeback to the European Tour after an eye injury by completing a resounding three shot victory over Alvaro Quiros.
