GOLF – WORLD number four Tommy Fleetwood has committed to the 2026 Hero Dubai Desert Classic, adding further star power to the prestigious event, set to take place at Emirates Golf Club from January 22 to 25.
The Dubai resident will join his European Ryder Cup teammates – defending champion Tyrrell Hatton and reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy – as an elite field gathers for the first Rolex Series event of the 2026 Race to Dubai.
Fleetwood enjoyed a stellar 2025 season, claiming the FedExCup title in the US after a dramatic victory at the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour, before playing a crucial role in Europe’s historic Ryder Cup triumph at Bethpage Black under captain Luke Donald.
The former Race to Dubai champion will make his 15th consecutive appearance on the Majlis Course next year, having contested the Hero Dubai Desert Classic every season since turning professional. Fresh from his victory at the inaugural DP World India Championship last month, Fleetwood hopes to once again savour the joy of celebrating with friends and family, this time in his adopted hometown.
