Spectators are set to return to the European Tour's season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai for the first time since 2019.

The 13th edition, which will take place from November 18 - 21 at Dubai's Jumeirah Golf Estates, will see the world’s best golfers battle it out to be crowned European Number One at the fourth Rolex Series event of the 2021 season and for a share of the US $9 million prize pot.

"It’s great to see the return of major sporting events into Dubai’s social calendars. The UAE has become synonymous with hosting world-class events and now, whilst celebrating the country’s 50th anniversary, we hope to set a new example of how to do so safely for all to enjoy," said Tom Phillips, European Tour Head of Middle East.

The European Tour will work closely with the Dubai Government and Dubai Sports Council to implement multiple precautionary measures to ensure the safety of all individuals in attendance.

Free tickets to watch the golf, along with other hospitality options for the Rolex Series Event are now available online. 

On top of that, the DP World Tour Championship will once again host the European Disabled  Golfers Association (EDGA) Dubai Finale from November 19 - 20, with eight of the leading  EDGA golfers having already qualified to battle it out on the Earth Course in their bid of becoming champion.
