“The Late King Hassan II was a great african leader, an exceptional man. He loved sports. He loved his country and he loved to promote it with tourism. He wanted as many people to see his country as possible.”

“When you look at the history of this tournament and the players who have competed here, you realize that virtually every major figure in golf has walked the fairways of this course and played in this tournament.”

“Receiving the Khanjar from His Royal Highness in 2008 remains a very vivid memory. It’s a truly unique trophy.”

“I have been to Morocco many times, and I thoroughly enjoy the trip every time. I was fortunate enough to win here in 1997, and coming back here to see the course and its beauty and the way it is designed, it is one of the best courses near Europe, it really is a fantastic course.”

“This course is one of the best on the tour. You must be extremely accurate off the tee. So many big names have played here, so many champions, and they’ve all enjoyed their time in Morocco.”

“My victory in 2007 meant a lot to me. It gave me momentum at a crucial point in my career.”

“The Hassan II Golf Trophy isn’t just a great tournament to play; it’s also a chance to discover a culture and a country. The dagger is a unique trophy.”

“A lot of people wonder why they should come play in Morocco, but they have no idea what a wonderful place it is. That dagger as the first prize is something truly special.”

“This is one of the greatest golf courses I have ever played.”

“To shoot a great score here, you have to play some extremely good golf.”

“This victory symbolizes all the hard work I put in during the off-season. I went through some really tough times last year and put a lot of effort into working with my mental coach. It proves that when I give it my all and believe in myself, I can always compete at the highest level.”

“It's a fantastic place to come and play. The practice areas at this golf course are incredible. The academy is like nothing I've ever seen before.”

“The title of the Lalla Meryem Cup that I won in 2019 is the most important of my career. I sincerely hope to repeat that achievement.”

“I’m very happy because it’s a real challenge here and I like playing on difficult courses. I think it suits me well.”
