All eyes of the golfing world will be on Jumeirah Golf Estates this week when the world-class golfing destination hosts the $10 million DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, the season-ending event on the 2023 – 2024 DP World Tour.
The season-long Race to Dubai may have already been won by Rory McIlroy (well played Rory!), but there is still so much to be decided in this, the 15th edition of the tournament which will be played over the Earth course, with all the Top 50 qualified players in the field.
Apart from crowning a tournament winner on Sunday night, there is also ‘The Race for the Top 10’ on the Rankings for those players who are still seeking to grab their PGA Tour Cards.
Dubai-based Adrian Meronk (Pol), currently holds that precious third spot behind Rory and Jon Rahm, narrowly ahead of Ryan Fox (NZ).
Khaleej Times will be following Adrian behind the scenes this week, with his first-person KT Daily Diary at the DP World Tour Championship.
The Asian Tour are in Indonesia this week for the BNI Indonesian Masters presented by Tunas Niaga Energi. Dubai’s Anirban Lahiri, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Shiv Kapur are all in the field.

The Ladies European Tour hosts their penultimate tournament on their 2023 Race to Costa del Sol season with the €400,000 Mallorca Ladies Open.
Friend of Dubai, Kristyna Napoleaova (Czech Republic), is in the 72-player field and currently stands 34th in the Race to Costa del Sol Order of Merit and 49th in the LET Money List.
