A closer look into the Dubai Invitational 2024 event
The Dubai Invitational event is marking its first edition in 2024 and will be played biannually going forward. The tournament is scheduled to take place at the second oldest golf course in the UAE with a whopping prize pool of $2.5 million.
In October 2023, CEO of Dubai Golf Christopher May warmly welcomed the DP World Tour event at Dubai Creek, emphasizing the course's rich heritage in professional golf. He said (via Khaleej Times):
“We’re absolutely delighted to be welcoming the DP World Tour back to Dubai Creek in January. It’s a venue that has a great heritage with professional golf, having previously been the host venue for the Dubai Desert Classic, and will be an incredible asset to the new tour schedule with a finishing stretch of holes that rivals almost any in the world.”
He added:
“This addition also highlights the amazing quality of golf on offer here in the UAE and, in particular, within the Dubai Golf group. We now have four courses, hosting four fantastic events in what is set to be an incredibly strong season for the DP World Tour.”
As many as 60 professional golfers are going to participate in the event, including the World No. 2 golfer Rory Mcllroy. They will be accompanied by 60 amateur players in the first three rounds.
On the final day of the event, only professional golfers will be seen competing. The newest tournament will allow pros to participate in the 72-hole event with no cut.
Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald, Francesco Molinari, Adrian Meronk, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Fox are among the players who are going to tee off in the Dubai Invitational.
