As co-title partner, we are marking our 12th year of world-class golf at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, also celebrating a record number of girls on the HSBC Future Falcons grassroots golf initiative.
The first intake in 2016 saw fewer than 100 girls participate in the programme, whilst the total number of girls participating across the years now stands at tens of thousands. At the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, girls make up around 55% of those taking part in a special programme of activity at the tournament.
This game-changing programme has seen 80,000 children introduced to the golf. The programme is also famed for discovering and nurturing emerging talent, providing up to 22 social and competitive events each year.
The Future Falcons school programme, ‘Skills 4 Schools’, has seen 18,385 school children, 7,000 Emirati students and 550 hours of coaching provided. The programme in recent times, has placed extra importance on expanding into the Abu Dhabi public school system.
The HSBC Future Falcons has been key to the growth of the game in the UAE, and for the first time since it started, girls participating outnumber boys. Hear Maya, Sara and Willa talk about the opportunities the programme has given them.
