Stars Golf League Dubai: Where legends collide in a spectacular new team format

Get ready, Dubai. Golf is about to break every rule you thought you knew. From March 25–28, 2026, the Stars Golf League will transform a city that dazzles into a playground of legends, heroes, and global celebrities, all competing in a team-format extravaganza designed to thrill.

The stage is The Els Club Dubai, a desert links-style layout in Sports City, where every hole carries the stamp of one of golf’s most enduring players, South Africa’s Ernie Els, who will also be swinging alongside the stars.

“Playing at a course I designed is going to be spectacular,” Els teased. “Fans are in for a show like no other - legends, champions, and today’s stars all competing together.”

Picture this: 24 legendary golfers, six leading women pros, and six celebrity golfers battling over four days, counting the best five scores per round. It’s strategy, skill, and spectacle wrapped into one high-octane team tournament with a $1 million prize pool.

A festival of golf

The Stars Golf League is set to deliver a festival of golf, style, and drama all in one. Think the energy of cricket’s Indian Premier League (IPL), the glitz of Dubai, and the sheer thrill of seeing legends and today’s stars compete alongside each other. Whether it’s a hole-in-one, a clutch putt, or a jaw-dropping drive, every shot will be Instagram-ready and unforgettable.

Conceptualised and organized by the creators of the hugely successful World Tennis League and World Padel League, it brings signature flair, and the team are already envisioning future expansions into sports like badminton and rugby. The Stars Golf League is set to stamp itself as a revolution in how sport is presented, played, and celebrated.

Mark your calendars. This is where legends of golf meet legends of cricket, where Dubai becomes a grand stage, and from where golf will never be the same again.
