Also in the field are Adam Scott, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Min Woo Lee, Robert MacIntyre and Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard. Twenty-eight of this season’s winners on the DP World Tour are playing.
The Abu Dhabi Championship is part of a change to the DP World Tour format. The top 70 available golfers in the Race to Dubai play this week, and the top 50 in the Race then go on to Dubai and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.
Rory McIlroy is way out in front in the Race to Dubai but, statistically at least, no fewer than 37 golfers are still in with a chance of winning it. If Rory McIlroy does win the Race, he will equal Seve Ballesteros in having won the European Tour’s Order of Merit six times, and only Colin Montgomerie, with eight, will have won more Harry Vardon Trophies.
Here's a complete guide to where to watch the 2024 Abu Dhabi Championship, including free streams, daily schedules and tee times.
