World's Largest Offshore Financial Services Group Sponsors International Golf Tournament

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- P.I.C. Middle East - a division of the deVere & Partners Group - is pleased to announce the outstanding success of its participation in the events leading up to the World Corporate Golf Challenge.

More than 90 of P.I.C.'s Abu Dhabi-based Clients and their guests took part in one of the Challenge's tournaments, held yesterday at the world-class Abu Dhabi Golf Club by Sheraton.

Four of the deVere team players - Steve Rigby, a senior P.I.C. Wealth Adviser, and three of the company's Clients - will proceed to compete in the Emirates Today Corporate Golf Challenge. The UAE's qualifying event for the Regional Final will take place at The Montgomerie Dubai on April 26th.
