The 2024 Dubai Desert Classic and the first Rolеx Series event of the DP World Tour season are set to kick off on Thursday, January 18, at the Emiratеs Golf Club in Dubai. The tournament, which is celebrating its 35th edition this year, boasts a star-studded field of 132 players, including defending champion Rory McIlroy and 2024 Dubai Invitational winner Tommy Fleetwood.

The golfers will fight for the $9 million prize money and the coveted trophy. With just a few hours remaining for the event, let us get into the details of the golfers’ tee time!

What time do players tee off at the 2024 Dubai Desert Classics?

The world no. 2 won the event for the third time last year with a score of 19 and a half. He will start his title defense from the 10th tee at 08.10 am local time (4.10 am GMT, 11.10 pm ET) in the opening round. The runner-up of the curtain-raiser event of the DPWT will be looking forward to leaving his agony of loss and defending his title. 

Along with him, he also has two other players who will tee off at the same time: his Team Europe Ryder Cup teammate Nicolai Højgaard and former world No. 1 Adam Scott. However, the 24x PGA Tour winner will not tee off with his Fleetwood, who stole the trophy from him last weekend.
