Golf Weekly Preview: Four Tournaments and Many German Starters

Four tours offer seven days of golf action from the Bahamas through the PGA Tour to Dubai with several German players. The weekly golf preview:

Korn Ferry Tour: Long Monday in the Bahamas

The international golf week kicks off early with the Korn Ferry Tour in the Bahamas. The first round of the Bahamas Great Abaco Classics is underway at the Great Abaco Club on Winding Bay. Due to fading daylight, the opening round could not be completed on Sunday, leading to an unusually long golf day on Monday. Currently, a round of -5 is leading at the clubhouse, while Ben Taylor is still on the course with a promising -6 after 15 holes, holding the solo lead.

The tournament continues through Wednesday and will be broadcast daily from 8:00 PM on MagentaTV.

DP World Tour: Star-studded Field and Strong German-speaking Presence in Dubai

The DP World Tour stays in Dubai, competing at the Emirates Golf Club. Seven German-speaking players will start at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday. Besides Nicolai von Dellingshausen and Marcel Siem, Marcel Schneider, Joel Girrbach, Freddy Schott, Bernd Wiesberger, and Jeremy Paul are part of the $9 million prize fund field. International star power is guaranteed with Rory McIlroy, a four-time winner, among the favorites. Also competing are Tommy Fleetwood, Patrick Reed, and Francesco Molinari. Nacho Elvira will also tee off with extra confidence following his victory in Dubai last week.

Thursday and Friday’s Dubai Desert Classic coverage begins at 8:30 AM on MagentaTV, with weekend broadcasts starting at 8:00 AM.

PGA Tour: Scheffler Begins 2026 Golf Season

The PGA Tour also kicks off on Thursday at the Pete Dye Stadium Course in La Quinta, California, marking the start of Scottie Scheffler’s 2026 season. After an outstanding 2025, the world number one aims to continue his success, seeking his first title at the American Express Championship. Austrian defending champion Sepp Straka returns, while Ryan Gerard and Patrick Rodgers look to maintain their strong form from the Dubai Invitational. German contenders Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid also participate.

MagentaTV will broadcast from Thursday to Saturday daily from 5:30 PM.

PGA Tour Champions: Legends Take on Hawaii

The PGA Tour Champions opens and closes the golf week with the Mitsubishi Electric Championship in Hualalai, Hawaii, from Friday to Sunday. Two German golf legends, Bernhard Langer and Alex Cejka, compete alongside international stars like Miguel Ángel Jiménez. Vijay Singh is also present, coming off a made cut last week on the PGA Tour to warm up in Hawaii.
