U.S. TV host and comedian Steve Harvey, a regular to the UAE, was once again getting into the swing of things down at Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Beach Golf Club.
A keen golfer, with over 10 million followers on Instagram, smooth-swinging Steve has been a regular visitor of Abu Dhabi after visiting the country six years ago.
He loves it so much, that he even hosts his own annual pro-am in the capital, where he brings some of the hottest celebrities from around the world to play in a star-studded lineup alongside UAE investors. That could be why he was getting some early reps in prior to this year’s edition, despite it being his wife’s 60th birthday yesterday!
Harvey is a big advocate for the Middle East, especially the UAE, Abu Dhabi and it’s golf!
“I found this place to be absolutely fascinating,” Harvey has previously said. “I’ve done nothing but try to expose other people to this region, in this area so they can discover what I discovered about this place, how special of a place it is.
“There’s so much misinformation about the Middle East that you get it confused. This is a very, very peaceful place, very warm place, open to business, international, local and all that.
“Abu Dhabi focuses mostly on culture and family and I think that’s important,” he added.
“I wanted to bring it here because they have so many things that need to be exposed like Yas Island, the marina, the beaches and Saadiyat [Island], I just thought it would be great here. I got great partnerships here in Abu Dhabi, great friendships, great business relationships; so it was an ideal place for me.”
