With less than a month to go until the 17th edition of the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, excitement is building as the tournament prepares to take the fan experience to the next level, with a host of new activities and entertainment lined up for the season-ending event from November 13–16 at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
With the leading 50 players on the Race to Dubai Rankings heading to the Earth course for the final Rolex Series event of the season, fans can look forward to exciting new ways to watch the world’s best golfers - including Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, and Justin Rose - in action, thanks to a range of fan-first experiences.
The excitement begins even before the first round tees off, as Jumeirah Golf Estates opens its doors for the first time in tournament history to spectators for the star-studded Pro-Am, held on November 11.
The event will feature golfing greats alongside celebrities from the worlds of sport and entertainment, including four-time Formula One World Champion Alain Prost, former World No. 5 tennis star Henri Leconte, and former World No. 1 padel pro Paquito Navarro.
Once the tournament gets underway, fans can expect to get closer to their heroes than ever before. An upgraded driving range experience will provide greater access and engagement opportunities, while an enhanced first-tee setup - now featuring a roof, giveaways, entertainment and live Q&As between tee times - will further elevate the atmosphere.
What’s more, those looking to catch up on all things birdies and business are invited to the DP World Tour Breakfast Club - a new way to connect with fellow golf enthusiasts, industry peers, and business professionals while overlooking the stunning 18th green and fairway at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
Held on Monday November 10 in the Championship Chalet, attendees can strengthen existing relationships or spark new ones during a morning of networking, accompanied by tea, coffee, and a light breakfast from 8am. to 10am. Priced at AED 200 per person, guests can secure their place at dpwtc.com.
During tournament days, companies are invited to elevate their everyday meetings at the Championship Meeting Room, located within the Championship Chalet. Whether you're hosting clients or collaborating with your team, the Championship Meeting Room provides the ideal setting - a private space that comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests.
After attracting record weekend crowds last year - and with demand for tickets high once again - fans are encouraged to secure their General Admission tickets early, before prices increase on October 30. Weekend tickets currently start from AED 160, while entry on Thursday and Friday is free of charge.
Fans looking for an elevated experience can choose from a variety of premium hospitality options, but should act quickly, as Ticket+ availability is limited for Friday and Sunday, and Earth Lounge and Championship Chalet tickets for Sunday are already sold out.
Ticket+ includes guaranteed access to the shaded viewing platform overlooking the 17th green and 18th fairway, priority access to food & beverage counters and live music after play on Friday and Saturday, the perfect ambiance to take in the action up close.
The Earth Lounge, overlooking the 16th green, provides a chic and comfortable setting to relax and enjoy the action. The Championship Chalet, situated on the 18th green, offers an exclusive vantage point to observe the thrilling conclusion of each round.
Fans are also advised that due to an ongoing development within the Jumeirah Golf Estates community, there will be limited public parking available for this year’s DP World Tour Championship.
To help manage access and maintain a smooth arrival experience for all spectators, a nominal parking fee will apply for from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 November, priced at AED 50 per car, when purchased in advance via dpwtc.com, and AED 80 per car when purchased upon arrival to the DP World Tour Championship. Complimentary parking will be available for ticketholders attending on 10-11 November.
Proceeds from parking will be reinvested into sustainability-focused initiatives within the UAE, as part of the tournament’s ongoing commitment to creating a positive environmental impact.
