The Hero Dubai Desert Classic is underway at the Emirates Golf Club, featuring a strong field including seven German-speaking players and international stars. With a prize fund of $9 million, the tournament attracts top talent such as Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Patrick Reed.
Strong German-Speaking Presence in Dubai
This year’s edition of the DP World Tour event boasts a notable contingent from the German-speaking world. Players like Nicolai von Dellingshausen, Marcel Siem, Marcel Schneider, Joel Girrbach, Freddy Schott, Bernd Wiesberger, and Jeremy Paul are all competing, adding local interest and competitive depth to the field.
International Stars Eyeing Victory
Rory McIlroy, a four-time winner of the Dubai Desert Classic, is among the favorites once again. The Northern Irishman’s experience and skill make him a constant threat on the DP World Tour. Other big names include Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Reed, both capable of producing spectacular golf under pressure.
Momentum from Recent Wins
Nacho Elvira arrives in Dubai with confidence after his recent victory, hoping to build on that success. The tournament’s early tee times on Thursday and Friday, starting at 8:30 a.m., allow fans to catch the action live on MagnetaTV, with weekend coverage beginning even earlier at 8:00 a.m.
The Hero Dubai Desert Classic continues to be a highlight on the DP World Tour calendar, combining a competitive field with a challenging course layout at the Emirates Golf Club.
