ExxonMobil Qatar has committed to the Commercialbank Qatar Masters for a further two years by signing a sponsorship agreement with the Doha-staged European Tour golf event.

"ExxonMobil has been firmly behind this tournament since it began fourteen years ago and we are delighted to have seen it grow to become one of the premier overseas tournaments on the European Tour schedule," said Bart Cahir, President and General Manager of ExxonMobil Qatar Inc.

"With first appearances by Jason Day and Hunter Mahan - two of the brightest talents in the game - golf fans around the world will look to Qatar to see who will be named the next champion."

"Qatar's leadership has identified sports as a way to showcase Qatar to the world - and events like the Commercialbank Qatar Masters demonstrate Qatar's great success in this area," said Cahir.

The 2012 Commercialbank Qatar Masters has attracted a formidable player field who will take to a 7,414-yard course widely considered the toughest Middle East challenge on The European Tour.

Day and Mahan will join World Number Two Lee Westwood, World Number Four Martin Kaymer, 2010 US Open Champion Graeme McDowell, TPC Champion KJ Choi, and reigning Dubai World Champion and former Commercialbank Qatar Masters winner Alvaro Quiros in the battle for the championship.

"We have a powerful line-up of players and an equally-strong collection of sponsors," added Tournament Manager Chris Myers.
