The 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic is over. Despite Tyrrell Hatton’s rash behavior, fans enjoyed watching him dominate the tournament and come out victorious a few hours ago. They were also disappointed Rory McIlroy didn’t grab his 3rd consecutive title in the event. But that’s old news now. The DP World Tour now moves on to the Al Hamra Golf Club in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE to host the 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
The field will include some big names like Patrick Reed, Paul Waring, and Daniel Hillier. Will fans be able to see them play in the UAE on their televisions? Let’s find out.

The 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship and the Farmers Insurance Open of the PGA Tour will be played on the same weekend. However, both events will be broadcast live, as they will be played in different time zones.
However, the Ras Al Khaimah Championship is scheduled to begin on January 23, 2025. The event will be played from Thursday to Sunday, January 26. Unfortunately, because of the difference in the region, the timezone might also not be convenient for the American audience.
The first 3 rounds of the event will begin at 3:30 A.M. (EST) from January 23 to 25. The final round will tee off at 3:00 (EST) on January 26, 2025. According to the official website of NBC Sports, fans can watch the event live on the Golf Channel. However, there is no information about whether the DP World Tour event can be streamed on the NBC Sports app at present.

That is all the information we have about the broadcast schedule for the event. But, let’s take a look at what the fans can anticipate at the 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Thorbjørn Olesen eager to retain the title
The 34-year-old Thorbjørn Olesen won the Ras Al Khaimah Championship in an extremely convincing fashion last year. Going up against the likes of Rasmus Hojgaard and Frederic Lacroix (not associated with La Croix Sparkling Water), Olesen managed -10 and -9 in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to seal the deal. He ended up winning by a deficit of -6 in the end.

However, he will be going up against another former champion, Daniel Gavins. Gavins won the 2023 version of the event by a stroke. Others who can prove to be a threat to Olesen’s defense are his old foe Rasmus Hojgaard, and Patrick Reed and Thomas Pieters.
