Une page d'événement vous indique quand il a lieu (avec le niveau de certitude sur la date), pourquoi il est important, quelle est l'atmosphère de la semaine qui l'entoure, quand arriver et repartir, où les participants séjournent, comment l'accès fonctionne, et quels événements le précèdent et le suivent sur le circuit.

The DP World Tour Championship closes the European tour's year on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, a Greg Norman design in the desert west of Dubai playing to a par of 72 at 7,675 yards. Only the leading fifty players in the season rankings qualify, and the week settles two things at once: the tournament, for a purse of USD 10,000,000, and the Race to Dubai, the season-long ranking that carries its own bonus pool.

The event was created in 2009 when the tour replaced its Order of Merit with the Race to Dubai and moved its finale from Spain to the Gulf. As a spectator week it is comfortable and cheap: the tour publishes free Thursday admission on pre-registration, general admission covers the whole course and the Championship Village, and November in Dubai is the best month of the year for standing outdoors.

01Pourquoi c'est important

This is the end of the European golf year and the week the tour's own hierarchy is settled, which gives it a competitive weight the field size does not suggest. In our reading it is the most accessible significant golf tournament in the world, in the literal sense that the organizer gives away a day of it, and that access is a deliberate part of how the tour presents itself in the region.

02La semaine environnante

November is when Dubai reopens.

Corporate hospitality is concentrated on the course, in the tour's own structures and the sponsor pavilions, and reflects the Gulf's finance, logistics and property sectors rather than an international golf audience.

03Quand arriver

Thursday is free with pre-registration and is the best value in professional golf, so arrive Wednesday and take all four days if you can.

04Où séjourner

Jumeirah Golf Estates sits inland on the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor, so nothing near it is where you would otherwise stay.

05Accès et hospitalité

The tour sells and publishes access on its own tournament page. Thursday admission is free but requires advance registration for a ticket; Friday, Saturday and Sunday are paid; and children aged 17 and under are admitted free, though they must also hold a registered ticket.

06Où se déroule l'activité sociale

The Championship Village is the tournament's public social space and is designed as one, with bars, food stalls and live music running through the afternoon and into the evening.

07Comment s'y rendre

Aviation commercialeDubai International is thirty-five to forty-five minutes from the course; Al Maktoum is closer but has less scheduled service.

RailThe Metro Red Line runs along the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor; the nearest station is a short taxi ride from the gates.

VoitureTaxi or ride-hail is the default and costs little. Parking is provided and the approach from Sheikh Zayed Road is straightforward outside peak hours.

Aviation privéeAl Maktoum International is the region's principal business-aviation airport, with Dubai International's executive terminal and Sharjah as alternatives.

HélicoptèreCharter operates from Palm Jumeirah and Al Maktoum. There is no landing at the venue and no published shuttle.

MarinasDubai Marina, Dubai Harbour and Port Rashid take visiting yachts, though none serves the course.

08Informations pratiques

Tenue vestimentaireWarm-weather golf clothing with sun protection; the November sun is strong even when the air is comfortable.

MétéoMid-November in Dubai typically brings daily highs around 30 to 32C, about 86 to 90F, with lows near 21C, low rainfall and moderate humidity by the standards of the Gulf year.

Se déplacerTaxis and ride-hail are inexpensive and the practical way to reach the course; the metro covers the city but not the last few kilometres.

HôtelsNovember is the start of Dubai's high season and rates rise through the month independently of the golf, which does not by itself move the market.

RestaurantsDubai's restaurant scene runs at capacity through the winter season and the better rooms take reservations two to four weeks ahead in November.

Délais de réservationTickets, including the free Thursday registration, open in the autumn and remain available late. Hospitality is sold from mid-year.

BilletsPublished by the tour: free Thursday admission with advance registration, paid tickets Friday to Sunday, and free entry for under-18s who hold a registered ticket.

HospitalitéThe tour markets premium experiences and hospitality packages through its own programme and appointed partners, comprising course-side pavilions and clubhouse packages with inclusive food and drink.

09Historique

Until 2008 the European tour's season ended with the Volvo Masters at Valderrama, a field of the leading sixty money winners.

10Qui s'y trouve

Dubai's large expatriate golf community, Gulf-based corporate hospitality from finance, logistics and property, the DP World Tour's sponsors and partners, visiting European golf followers combining the week with a winter-sun trip, and a substantial local family audience drawn by the free Thursday and free under-18 admission.
