Emirates airline welcomes Ryder Cup players

Emirates airline is the official carrier for the forthcoming Dubai World Championship golfing event.

A total of 12 Ryder Cup players are heading to Dubai for the competition – which will conclude this year's golfing season.

The tournament is being held at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth course and the golfers will be competing for part of a $7.5 million (£4.75 million) prize fund – with many taking flights to Dubai with Emirates.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates, said: "The Dubai World Championship is a spectacle of sport...it will consolidate Dubai's status as a venue capable of hosting major international sporting events."

Emirates is also the official airline for four other events on the 2010 European Tour International Schedule - the Austrian Open, Avantha Masters (India), Malaysian Open and the BMW International Open (Germany).

Europe won this year's Ryder Cup in Wales 14 ½ to 13 ½ with Colin Montgomerie as captain.
