Golf Ambassadors

As part of our ongoing commitment to golf in the Emirates and our natural synergy with the sport, JA Resorts & Hotels sponsors 4 professional golfers. These Brand Ambassadors are internationally recognized players who represent our sporting values. 

Rafa Cabrera Bello

The Spanish golfer is a familiar face at not only the world’s leading tournaments, but also at JA The Resort Golf Course– where he can often be seen fine tuning his swing as well as enjoying a few rounds on the course. After his success playing for the European team in the 2016 Ryder Cup, we also saw the Dubai-based golfer win at the 2017 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open as part of the lucrative Rolex Series on the European Tour. This drove Rafa into the top 20 players in the Official World Golf rankings.

Amy Boulden

Following in her pro golfing father’s footsteps, Amy Boulden first teed off at the tender age of five, spending weekends and any free time on the greens honing her skills. Taking her passion for the sport to another level, Amy began her journey in amateur competitions representing her home country of Wales and helping her team to win the Home Internationals. While marking her debut as a pro in 2013, the young player enjoyed a winning streak in the UK and took home a well-deserved Rookie of the Year award at the Ladies European Tour in 2014.

Olivia Cowan

Also born to a golf pro father, German player Olivia Cowan is one to watch on the global golf scene. The young professional first made her mark as she secured her place in the individual tournament at the 2014 Youth Olympics in China, the best result for a European player. More recently, Cowan won the order of merit on the 2015 LET Access Tour qualifying as a LET rookie for 2016. Known for her fearless approach to the greens, Cowan is no stranger to the courses in the UAE after competing in the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.
