The Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, is a professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour (LET) that was played for the first time in October 2006. Its prize fund of €500,000 makes it the fourth richest on the LET, after the Evian Masters. It is played on the Majlis course at the Emirates Golf Club, which also hosts the Dubai Desert Classic on the men's European Tour.
Since 2009, Omega, a luxury watch company based in Switzerland, has been the title sponsor of the tournament.
Annika Sörenstam won the event the first two times it was played. Sörenstam beat out Karrie Webb in 2006, and in 2007 defeated Iben Tinning by two shots after Sörenstam birdied 17 and Tinning double-bogeyed the 18th. The 2008 event, which was Sörenstam's final tournament before her retirement, was won by Germany's Anja Monke.

Famous quotes containing the words ladies and/or masters:
“[The ladies] must be aware that a great evil cannot for a long time, predominate, without, at least, their connivance. Silence is often as effectual an advocate in a cause as eloquence.”
—“Censor,” U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 337-340 (August, 1828)
“Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
