Rahm to defend DP World Tour Championship title in Dubai
“I love coming back to Dubai and to this golf course for the DP World Tour Championship”
Spain's Jon Rahm will return to Jumeirah Golf Estates to defend his DP World Tour Championship title from November 16-19, 2023.
The current World Number Three will be aiming to create further history in Dubai at the fifth and final Rolex Series event of the 2023 DP World Tour season, as he chases a record fourth DP World Tour Championship title.
The ten-time DP World Tour winner won the tournament by two shots last year over the Earth Course, becoming the first player to win five Rolex Series titles with a record third victory at the DP World Tour Championship.
I love coming back to Dubai
Rahm, the reigning Masters champion, said: “It’s no surprise I love coming back to Dubai and to this golf course for the DP World Tour Championship. To win here three times, it means a lot to me, and it’s always an honour to defend any title you have put your name to.”
The 28-year-old had a 2023 to remember, winning three PGA TOUR titles in five starts before triumphing at Augusta National in April to add a second Major Championship to his collection, after becoming the first Spaniard to win the U.S. Open back in June 2021.
“It’s going to be fantastic week. The vibe in Dubai is great, the field is world class, and the fans get behind the players, so I am looking forward to the challenge and hopefully I can give them something to cheer about come Sunday afternoon.”
Celebrating 15 years, the world-class sporting and social event promises to deliver unparalleled excitement and entertainment showcasing 'The Greatest Players on Earth' as the top 50 golfers available on the DP World Tour tee it up at the prestigious Earth Course in Dubai.
Daniel Van Otterdijk, Group Chief Communications Officer, DP World, added: "We are immensely proud of our partnership with the DP World Tour, and I'm always amazed by the growth and evolution of the DP World Tour Championship.
Cements Dubai's position as a global sporting hub
"As a truly world-class event, the DP World Tour Championship brings together the best players from around the globe, offering an exceptional day out for the whole family. It is one of the highly anticipated events on the calendar, that further cements Dubai's position as a global sporting hub."
Fans can once again witness the drama unfold as the Race to Dubai Presented by Rolex reaches a dramatic conclusion in the United Arab Emirates and Europe’s Number One is crowned.
