DUBAI: Spectators are set to return to the European Tour’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, where the world’s best golfers will battle it out to be crowned European No.1 at the fourth Rolex Series event of the 2021 season.
The 13th edition of the DP World Tour Championship will take place from Nov. 18-21 at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
“It’s great to see the return of major sporting events into Dubai’s social calendars,” Tom Phillips, European tour head of Middle East, said.
“The UAE has become synonymous with hosting world-class events and now, while celebrating the country’s 50th anniversary, we hope to set a new example of how to do so safely for all to enjoy.”
The 50 highest-ranked players on the Race to Dubai rankings will take on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates — designed by two-time Open champion Greg Norman — competing for a share of the $9 million prize pot.
Free tickets to watch the golf, along with other hospitality options for the event, are now on sale.
As part of the ultimate fan experience, spectators can enjoy access to the 16th green hospitality lounge, with views of the course as well as access to the Jumeirah Golf Estates clubhouse and the preferential viewing platform on the 18th green.
The 18th fan experience will offer spectators access to the preferential viewing platform on the 18th green and to the clubhouse.
The DP World Tour Championship will again host the European Disabled Golfers Association Dubai final from Nov. 19-20, with eight of the leading players already having qualified to battle it out on the Earth Course in their bid to become champion.
It will be the first time the DP World Tour Championship will have fans attending since the 2019 edition after last year’s tournament, which was won by England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, was played behind closed doors due to pandemic restrictions.
The European Tour will work closely with the Dubai government and Dubai Sports Council on precautionary measures to ensure player and spectator safety.
