About DP World Tour Championship 2026

The season finale brings together only the players who have qualified through the year-long standings, with the overall title and the biggest prize purse on the circuit decided over four days. Desert courses like this one reward controlled ball-striking rather than raw power, and the firm, fast fairways can punish anything loose off the tee. For those chasing the season standings, a single bad round can undo months of consistent form.

Where to stay nearby

Most visitors base themselves in Dubai, which sits closest to the course and offers by far the widest choice of hotels, from budget stays to five-star resorts. Sharjah is a workable alternative if you want lower rates or have flown into its airport, though it is a longer drive to the venue and has far fewer hotels to choose from. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the simplest way to reach the course from either base, and it is worth checking event-day traffic and any shuttle options nearer the date.

Dubai — about 10 km away

Dubai is 10km away and home to 449 hotels in our catalog. It's the natural choice for most visitors—a short drive or taxi ride gets you to the venue, and you'll have the full range of city amenities, dining, and entertainment on your doorstep before and after your event.

History

The DP World Tour Championship is the grand finale of the European-based DP World Tour, staged each November on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. First played in 2009, it was conceived as the climax of the season-long points race now known as the Race to Dubai, and it has grown into one of the richest and most prestigious events on the men's circuit.

The Earth Course, designed by two-time Open champion Greg Norman, is a sweeping desert layout famous for its dramatic par-five 18th, which curls around water to a grandstand-ringed green — a fitting stage on which to crown a champion. Rory McIlroy has dominated the tournament's history, winning it more than once and taking the Race to Dubai title on several occasions, while the event's status as a Rolex Series flagship guarantees a world-class field. Played under warm winter sunshine, with floodlit evenings and a festival atmosphere around the course, it closes the golfing year in some style.
