The DP World Tour Championship is a premier golf tournament held annually in Dubai, marking the grand finale of the European Tour’s season-long Race to Dubai. Played on the spectacular Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, this prestigious event gathers the top players on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), offering fans an opportunity to witness world-class golfing in one of the most luxurious settings in the world. The 2024 edition will take place from 14-17 November.
Launched in 2009, the tournament has grown to become one of the most significant stops on the global golf calendar. The event not only crowns the winner of the DP World Tour Championship but also decides the season-long Race to Dubai Champion, a title given to the golfer who has accumulated the most points over the season. With a $10 million prize fund, the tournament is one of the most lucrative on tour, attracting elite golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and other top-ranked international players.
Billy Horschel will tee it up on the world-renowned Earth Course alongside major champions Shane Lowry, Justin Rose and Adam Scott and fellow Rolex Series winner Robert MacIntyre, who won the Genesis Scottish Open in July. They join reigning Race to Dubai champion McIlroy and his fellow Ryder Cup star and 2017 European No.1 Tommy Fleetwood, who have already been confirmed for the final Rolex Series event of the season.
The Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, designed by Greg Norman, is a challenging and picturesque venue known for its wide fairways, strategic water hazards, and immaculate condition. Its signature 18th hole, a dramatic par-five surrounded by water, is one of the most thrilling finishes in golf. Dubai itself, with its world-renowned hospitality, luxury hotels, and stunning skyline, provides the perfect backdrop for the event.
For fans, the DP World Tour Championship is not just about golf – it offers a complete experience with various entertainment zones, hospitality options, and activities for families. This tournament has become a symbol of Dubai’s growing stature as a global sports destination, combining high-level competition with the city’s vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
