Ewen Ferguson, a three-time DP World Tour title winner, joined a press conference held by the Dubai Sports Council today, gearing up for the much-anticipated DP World Tour Championship.
This season-ending event, part of the first-ever DP World Tour Play-Offs, will take place at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 14-17.
His Excellency Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, and Tom Phillips, Director of the Middle East for the DP World Tour, were also at the press briefing, which took place at the Dubai Sports Council Office.
“We are thrilled that the UAE, especially Dubai, has become a top choice for major golf events, attracting elite players for one of the sport’s biggest occasions,” said His Excellency Saeed Hareb. “Last year, the DP World Tour Championship had a record-breaking attendance of 79,000 spectators, with viewership rising on international platforms. Dubai’s world-class golf courses, luxury hotels, and strong infrastructure offer an amazing experience for both players and fans.”
Tom Phillips expressed excitement for this season’s tournament, saying, “The DP World Tour Championship is a top-tier event that provides great entertainment both on and off the course. This year, as part of the inaugural DP World Tour Play-Offs, the stakes are even higher, and we expect another fantastic event at Jumeirah Golf Estates.”
Adding to the excitement, Ewen Ferguson shared his thoughts: “Competing at the DP World Tour Championship is always a pleasure, especially on the famous Earth course, recognized as one of the best in the game. With ideal weather and excellent facilities, Dubai is truly one of the best places to play golf.”
The DP World Tour Championship will showcase the top 50 players in the DP World Tour Race to Dubai Rankings, featuring stars like Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, and Justin Rose. Ferguson, who won his first DP World Tour title at the 2022 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, will also take part in this prestigious event.
