It’s free for the first two days! That’s right, entry for the action on Thursday and Friday (November 14-15) won’t cost you a single dirham. But log-on now and secure your spot via the DP World Tour Championship website – tickets are going fast.
Watch elite-level performers in action: Many of the world’s best golfers will be competing for the title, with reigning Race to Dubai champion Rory McIlroy and winner of the Dubai Invitational Tommy Fleetwood confirmed, along with the likes of Billy Horschel, who recently claimed his second BMW PGA Championship title, Major Champions Shane Lowry, Justin Rose and Adam Scott, and fellow Rolex Series winner Robert MacIntyre, who claimed the Genesis Scottish Open in July.
G4D prize-giving: Once again, the G4D (Golf for the Disabled) Tour Series Finale will take place at Jumeirah Golf Estates as some hugely inspiring athletes showcase their amazing talents on the big stage. This year’s competition features the likes of Kipp Popert, Brendan Lawlor, Wayne Perske and the returning champion, Mike Browne, with the award ceremony set to be held on Thursday November 15 at around midday. Definitely one not to be missed.
New-look first tee: This year, attendees heading to Jumeirah Golf Estates can look forward to an enhanced first tee, which has been significantly developed to improve the spectator experience. The new design features additional seating options and improved views for fans, providing a stadium-like feel.
Live music performances: The wonderful Championship Village will be alive to the sound of top class live music acts with South African hit singer-songwriter Aston Wylie headlining on Thursday and Dubai’s own party favourites, Big Mouth, taking centre stage on Friday with more to follow over the weekend, including the Red Light Party Band and the fantastic Greg Pearson, who will bring the curtain down on the 2024 DP World Tour Championship in style on Sunday.
Ladies’ Day: Saturday November 16 is Ladies’ Day at Jumeirah Golf Estates with general admission tickets available for AED 125 with kids under 17 going free for fast-track entry, providing you book in advance. For those groups of female friends looking for a big day out in the UAE sunshine, there really is no better place to be, with two free drinks provided from 11am onwards at the Zonin Bar in the Championship Village (subject to availability) on production of special wristbands collected at entry.
Fantastic food and drinks: The Championship Village and other venues around the course offer multiple food vendors serving up top notch, delicious cuisine and fast food from around the world to tantalise your taste buds. Brands to look out for include Pret A Manger, Pickl, SALT, Vietnamese Foodies and Pinza. There’s also plenty of bars situated around the Village and course to keep you well refreshed – golf-watching can be a thirsty business!
Get pampered: Ladies – and gents – can take a breather from watching the golf pros battle it out for glory to relax in one of the super-luxurious pamper stations.
Trick Shot Boys: Golf’s the toughest of all sports, right? Well, not the way these guys play it – they’ve got every shot in the book and a few you wouldn’t have dreamed were possible. Don’t miss their ever-popular show over the weekend.

Sustainability focus: As ever, the DP World Tour remains as committed as ever to hosting sustainable events across the globe, and following its greenest edition to date in 2023, a number of measures will be in place this time around, one of which sees spectators attending encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles which can be topped up from the venue’s refillable water stations.
Family Day: Sunday November 17 is the final day of the Championship and the DP World Tour season, and it makes the perfect day out for all the family, culminating in the trophy presentations.
