Olympic Silver Medallist Tommy Fleetwood is set to chase more glory in the 2024 Race to Dubai as he is ready to compete in the DP World Tour Championship from Nov.14-17.

Fleetwood, who became a DP World Global Ambassador in June, will join four-time Major Champion Rory McIlroy at the renowned Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates for the season-ending Rolex Series event.

A Dubai resident, the World Number 11 has enjoyed significant success in the UAE, with three of his seven DP World Tour titles coming in the region. He claimed back-to-back wins at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2017 and 2018, won the season-long Race to Dubai in 2017, and added another triumph this year at the inaugural Dubai Invitational.

Recently, Fleetwood earned the Silver Medal for Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, standing on the podium alongside World Number One Scottie Scheffler and Major winner Hideki Matsuyama at Le Golf National—the venue of his Ryder Cup debut in 2018.

He will spend two weeks in the United Arab Emirates following confirmation he will tee it up at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship – the first event of the DP World Tour Play-offs, a new two-event series also incorporating the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.

The top 70 available players at the conclusion of the “Back 9” events will gather at Yas Links in Abu Dhabi before the top 50 available players move on to Dubai, as the new-look season comes to a dramatic close, and fans are able to buy tickets to all four days of action here.

“It’s always a privilege to be part of the DP World Tour Championship, especially on a course as iconic as the Earth Course,” said Fleetwood, a seven-time DP World Tour winner.

“The Race to Dubai has played a huge role in my career, and I’m excited to be back competing in the DP World Tour Play-offs.

“The UAE has been like a second home to me, and I’ve been fortunate to experience some great moments here – winning in Abu Dhabi twice and lifting the Race to Dubai trophy in 2017 were incredible milestones. It’s a place that always inspires me to play my best golf.”

Fleetwood and DP World officially opened The DP World Golf Performance Centre at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai in 2022, the region’s first-ever Tommy Fleetwood Academy, and he remains committed to growing grassroots golf in the region and globally.

“Being named a DP World Global Ambassador is a real honour. I’m proud to represent such an important partner of the Tour I grew up watching and to help grow the game globally with my Academy. The partnership feels like a perfect fit for me, especially with all the success I’ve had in Dubai and the UAE.”

Earlier, McIlroy is set to return to Dubai with his sights on securing a third DP World Tour Championship title and equalling the late, great Seve Ballesteros’ record of six Harry Vardon Trophies at the season-ending Rolex Series event from Nov.14-17.

The reigning Race to Dubai champion opened his 2024 season with a successful title defence at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and the Northern Irishman has remained atop the rankings since January following a runner-up finish at the Dubai Invitational, and strong performances at the first three Majors.

The renowned Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates has been a prosperous venue for the World Number Three, who has won the event twice and topped the season-long standings in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2022, and most recently in 2023.

The 35-year-old has moved clear into third place for the most Race to Dubai victories, one behind Ballesteros and three behind Colin Montgomerie, as he looks to add another European Number One crown to his already impressive career. The four-time Major Champion currently leads the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex from Adam Scott by 1,554.39 points.
