The DP World Tour begins its annual Middle East Swing this month with four consecutive events in the region, starting with the second edition of the Dubai Invitational at Dubai Creek Resort, where headline names of Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy are already confirmed for what is hoped to be another duel around the Creek.
After the opener in Dubai, the Tour makes the short trip down the coast to Emirates Golf Club for the 37th Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Tyrrell Hatton returns as defending champion, while McIlroy will be aiming for a record fifth Dallah Trophy when the Rolex Series event begins on 22 January.
The run continues with the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship on 29 January at Royal Golf Club, before wrapping up with the Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club starting 5 February.
