Emirates will sponsor Malaysia’s National Press Club Golf Challenge 2009 on 8th August at the Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club.

The sponsorship includes a return ticket to London as a major prize for the event and smaller prizes such as bags and model planes.

Alban Lee, Emirates manager in Malaysia said the airline was honoured to be part of the team ensuring the success of the tournament. “Over the years we have enjoyed a good relationship with the media and we hope this relationship with the media will go on forever,” he added.

Over 80 players have registered for the tournament so far, and organisers hope for a total of 120 players by the time registrations close on 5th August.
