In 2010, for the 5th consecutive year Abu Dhabi Golf Club hosted the European PGA Tour Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, the largest and most prestigious sporting event in the UAE capital.

This year a record crowd witnessed one of Europe's leading golfers, Martin Kaymer lift the trophy for the second time after his first victory in 2008.

In a thrilling last day, the 2008 Abu Dhabi champion Kaymer made it a historic double after a nerve-wracking final round,
which saw the German finish one ahead of England's Ian Poulter on 21-under.

Having shot three consecutive rounds of 67, Kaymer was forced to raise his game on the final day as England's Ian Poulter continued to push him to the very last stroke. Both golfers carded an impressive 66 and the tournament looked like it was going to a play-off until the German pulled out a fairway wood to make the mammoth drive to the 18th green, as Poulter had to lay-up.
