Lexus Bahrain, represented by Ebrahim K. Kanoo, the exclusive Lexus distributor in the Kingdom, was the Main Sponsor of the 8th Bahrain Amateur Open Golf Championship, held from 21 to 24 October 2026 at the Royal Golf Club, Riffa Views. This was the second consecutive year that Lexus had backed the event, which was organized by the Bahrain Golf Association. 

A counted event in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, the championship brought together more than 100 golfers from Bahrain and around the world. It also served as a qualifier for the 18th King Hamad Trophy Golf Championship, to be played in November, and gave young Bahraini golfers a chance to compete at a very high level. 

Lexus brought its full brand experience to the course. Visitors could see the Lexus line-up on display, with a focus on the brand's electrified journey and the all-electric Lexus RZ. The all-new Lexus ES was also teased at the venue ahead of its official launch, offering a glimpse of the next chapter for the brand. 

Guests also enjoyed the Omotenashi Café, which offered refreshments and hospitality in an elegant setting beside the course. 

Isa Mohamed Kanoo, Lexus Director and Board Member of Ebrahim K. Kanoo, said: “At Ebrahim K. Kanoo, we believe in the importance of supporting sporting activities and events, given their role in encouraging people to take up sport and in instilling the values of fair competition and sportsmanship. Our sponsorship of this championship stems from our commitment to our social responsibility and our desire to be an active partner in supporting initiatives that serve Bahraini society.” 

He added: “We are delighted that Lexus is sponsoring the championship for the second consecutive year. It reflects our interest in golf and our commitment to supporting efforts to develop the game and raise its standard.” 

Golf is a sport built on precision, focus and excellence, values that sit at the heart of the Lexus brand. By supporting the championship, Lexus Bahrain continues to strengthen its association with prestigious sporting events that reflect refined luxury and a commitment to the Kingdom's sporting community.
