Welcome letter from Miller Brady
PGA TOUR Champions President
- 2026 Edition -
On behalf of PGA TOUR Champions, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the 50th anniversary of the Hassan II Trophy. The 2026 season marks the fourth consecutive year of PGA TOUR Champions competing at the prestigious Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco.
Last year’s Hassan II Trophy saw Spain’s Miguel Ángel Jiménez claim his 14th PGA TOUR Champions victory, defeating two-time Charles Schwab Cup champion Steven Alker with a two-stroke victory. Jiménez, one of the most accomplished players on PGA TOUR Champions, continues to add to his impressive career with victories such as this.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hassan II Trophy, we recognize the tournament’s rich history and its continued role in showcasing world-class golf on an international stage.
I would like to express our sincere gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI for His Royal Patronage, and to His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, President of both the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association, for their long-standing commitment to advancing the game of golf and supporting PGA TOUR Champions.
We are honored to collaborate with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (RMGF) and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association (ATH), whose unwavering support and dedication ensure the success of this exceptional event.
This tournament continues to be a highlight on our calendar, and we are excited to welcome an esteemed field of legendary players, including members of the World Golf Hall of Fame and major champions, to compete in this remarkable event. Additionally, we are thrilled to once again join the Ladies European Tour (LET) in celebrating their Lalla Meryem Cup, a respected event that has been part of their schedule since 2010 and has been played annually since 1993.
Looking ahead, the 2026 season promises to be historic, with our players competing across the United States and internationally in Morocco, Scotland, Portugal and Canada. PGA TOUR Champions events not only showcase world-class competition, but also contribute significantly to charitable causes, a tradition we are proud to continue in the years ahead.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff, media, and the team at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam for their hard work and commitment to ensuring the success of this event. Your hospitality is deeply appreciated by PGA TOUR Champions.
We look forward to another exciting and memorable week in Rabat.
