Shaikh Nasser’s winning team also consisted of Mike Lorenzo, Mahdi Tadaoui and Soufiane Tadaoui. This golf tournament – which is now an important fixture in Bahrain’s sporting calendar – was first started in 1997, as a fund raiser, when the American Mission Hospital’s work and growth necessitated the construction of a new building in Manama, and the purchase of advanced medical and surgical equipment. Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, with his Team Bahrain Victorious, were the winners of the Island Classic 2025. In 2024, the annual Island Classic celebrated 25 years Golfers on the golf course, at Saffriya, in November 2025
