The DP World Tour returned last week at the Abu Dhabi Championship and, after shooting a level-par final round 72, it was Thomas Pieters who claimed his first Rolex Series event and the biggest title of his career.
This week, the Tour moves to the second leg of the 'Desert Swing' and the iconic Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic, which has been a part of the DP World Tour's calendar since 1989 and was the first ever tournament to be played in the Arabian Peninsula.
Being hosted on the world-famous Majlis course at Emirates Golf Club, which offers superb views of the stunning Dubai skyline, particularly from the picturesque 8th tee, we can expect to see a star-studded line-up with Englishman, Paul Casey, defending his title
For the 2022 edition of the event, the tournament see's a huge prize money increase, with more than doubling from $3.25 million to $8 million. This is thanks to the tournament becoming a Rolex Series event for the first time ever, a new addition for the 2022 DP World Tour season.
Paul Casey will be looking to defend his title.
