Today marks one month to go until Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick arrive at Jumeirah Golf Estates for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, from November 17-20.
The fifth and final Rolex Series event of the DP World Tour season promises to be a showstopper with past champions McIlroy and Fitzpatrick set to go head-to-head as they bid to win the DP World Tour Rankings in partnership with Rolex on the famous Earth course.
Members of the media and special guests including General Abdullah Al Hashmi, Vice Chairman, Emirates Golf Federation; Danny van Otterdijk, Chief Communications Officer, DP World; Chris May, CEO, Dubai Golf; and Tom Phillips, Head of the Middle East, DP World Tour, gathered at Jumeirah Golf Estates earlier today to witness the ceremonial tee shot to mark the official month-to-go countdown until the start of the DP World Tour Championship.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “The 2022 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai next month will be the exciting season finale for our first year as Title Partner of the DP World Tour. As a leading global supply chain solutions provider, we pride ourselves on world-class performance, so we look forward to welcoming the world’s best golfers back to Dubai in what is sure to be a fantastic finale. The tournament is important for DP World in many ways but is also a stand-out event on Dubai's sporting and social calendar that welcomes the whole family and not just avid golf fans. We look forward to seeing everyone at Jumeirah Golf Estates in a month’s time.”
Tom Phillips, Head of the Middle East, DP World Tour, said: “With just one month to go until the DP World Tour Championship, anticipation is building across the UAE, not just amongst golf fans but also the general public who are looking forward to enjoying some of the finest premium experiences a golf tournament can offer in the form of the Championship Chalet and Earth Lounge.
“We’ve had a huge number of fans already register and we expect many more to avail of the free general admission tickets in the final weeks leading up to the greatest weekend on Earth at Jumeirah Golf Estates.”
Aside from being one of the standout events on Dubai’s annual sporting calendar, the tournament has also rightly earned its place as a must-attend event on the social calendar thanks to its vast array of attractions, activations, and food and beverage options available in the Championship Village.
Guests can expect plenty of action and entertainment on and off the golf course with dedicated Ladies, Family and Community days, as this marks the first year the tournament will run over more than the four tournament days. On Tuesday 15th November the Rolex Pro-Am event will allow golfers and sports fans to have the chance to watch the pro players in action, whilst on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th November, the new look G4D (Golf for the Disabled) Tour Series Finale will see the world’s eight leading people of determination golfers come together at the DP World Tour Championship to compete in the series finale in Dubai.
