Will Rory McIlroy's passion for Middle Eastern courses lead him to another Race to Dubai victory?

Rory McIlroy is set to return to Yas Links for the 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, taking place from November 7 to November 10. With his eyes on securing a sixth Race to Dubai Rankings title in partnership with Rolex, McIlroy will be aiming to cap off another stellar season.

“It’s no secret that I love playing golf in the Middle East, and having the opportunity to play in these two events back-to-back will be a great way to end the season,” said McIlroy. He is hoping to lift the trophy in Abu Dhabi, and then play phenomenally at the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

If you wish to have an exciting weekend at the beautiful Yas Links with thrilling action, you can still buy your tickets. But if you cannot make it to the Middle East, you can still be a part of all the action. That too from the comfort of your house.
