Top local amateurs Al Rumhy, Al Wahaibi get International Series Oman invites

MUSCAT: With just over two weeks to go for the tee-off of the opening International Series event – International Series Oman - of the 2024 season a handful of deserving golfers, including two local golfers have received their invitation to compete against the best of the Asian Tour, and a few LIV players too, at Al Mouj Golf, Muscat. Leading Omani amateurs Azaan Al Rumhy and young Ahmed Al Wahaibi have been extended the invites with a few others from across the world. A national team stalwart for many years, Azaan has represented Oman at many high-profile amateur events, most recently the Asia Pacific Amateur Championships in Australia and has played in Challenge Tour, European Tour, and in 2023 Asian Tour events. Azaan's invite comes by virtue of him being the leading Omani golfer in the official World Amateur Golf Rankings. Using the golden opportunity of an invite to an Asian Tour event to reward regional elite performance, as well as developing Omani talent, the Oman Golf Association (OGA) allocated two invitations to the recently played OHI Oman Amateur Open. Ahmed Al Wahaibi finished as the leading Omani player at the Oman Amateur Open to secure the second invitation. At
