Content creators Mac Boucher and Temps claimed victory in the Creators Dubai Desert Classic (CDDC) after two scintillating rounds of competition at Emirates Golf Club, with both champions earning a coveted spot in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic Pro-Am alongside the world’s best players.
The official highlight video capturing the best moments from the weekend is released today – watch it now on via the Hero Dubai Desert Classic social media channels.
The second edition of the CDDC brought together 16 of social media’s biggest sporting content creators for a weekend of competition that began under the lights of the Faldo Course on Friday evening before concluding on the legendary Majlis Course – the same layout where the world’s best will compete for the famous Dallah Trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic from 22-25 January.
Canadian Boucher carded rounds of 75 and 76 to finish at seven-over 151 for the gross title while Englishman Temps took the net honours with title two-round total of 151 (+7).
Boucher said: “What a week. To win the CDDC and then tee it up in the Pro-Am just days later was surreal. You dream about playing courses like the Majlis in conditions like that. The whole experience has been first-class – Dubai knows how to do it right.”
Building on the success of its inaugural edition – which generated 13.3 million views from a single hero video and contributed to an estimated 192 million impressions – the 2026 CDDC expanded from a single-day to a weekend competition to produce deeper, higher-quality storytelling that showcases both world-class golf and Dubai as a global destination.
The 2026 field featured creators from the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and Europe, including Mac Boucher, Sara Winter, Jay Bark, ForeBrothers (Declan and Ronan Moloney), Georgia Ball, Ellie Skoog, Temps, Max & Harry, Owen “Hoyzie”, Caitlinn Mazza, Mei Brennan, Zaire Odle, Tyler Hamilton and Hannah Davies.
Simon Corkill, Executive Tournament Director of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, said: “The Creators Dubai Desert Classic continues to deliver exactly what we envisioned – authentic storytelling that reaches audiences traditional golf coverage simply cannot. Congratulations to Mac and Temps on their victories. It was also fantastic to see them experience the Pro-Am and witness the tournament at the highest level first-hand.”
