Masafi natural mineral water and juices will quench the thirst of the spectators, players and officials at the golf tournament – the grand finale to The Race to Dubai, a season-long competition which encompasses 50 golf tournaments in 27 destinations around the globe.
 
The 60 qualifiers from The Race to Dubai will compete for a $7.5 million prize fund on Greg Norman’s stunning new Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 19-22, 2009, with the winner walking away with $1.25 million.
