KARACHI: Top-notch golfers of the country will return to action as the DHA Bank-AlBaraka Cup Golf Championship gets underway on Friday at the Defence Authority Country and Golf Club in Karachi.

Pakistan number one Shabbir Iqbal confirmed his participation along with Muhammad Munir, Muhammad Nazir and Imdad Hussain in the championship.

However, local sensations Afsar Ali and Waheed Baloch may make their seasoned counterparts run for their money by taking advantage of familiar conditions.

Meanwhile, the championship offering Rs2.1 million as prize money will also feature events of senior professionals, amateurs and invitees.

A sum of Rs1.5 million has been allocated from the prize money for professional competition while Rs300,000 will be distributed among senior professionals. A brand new car will be given to the first golfer to hit a hole-in-one.
