2024 Dubai Invitational: How to Watch, TV Schedule, Tickets Info, and More

The DP World Tour will kick off its first event of 2024. The European Tour started the 2024 season with an Opening Swing in December. Now, with the International Swing, the first tournament will be held in Dubai, called the Dubai Invitational.

The event will be a unique combination of professionals and amateurs playing alongside each other. The inaugural DP World Tour event will have many renowned faces playing at Dubai Creek Resort. Amidst the action-packed and intense gameplay, here is a guide on how you can become a part of it.

The unique format of the Dubai Invitational

The first event of the European Tour in 2024 will be heading to the Dubai Creek Resort, which previously hosted the Dubai Desert Classic (1999 and 2000). The vent will have the top 60 DP World Tour players teeing it up on January 10. The final day, January 14, will see the crowning of the winner of the Dubai Invitational.

The event will have a stroke play and a team Pro-Am played concurrently with 60 pros and 60 amateurs. The individual matches will not have a cut, whereas the team events will have one. The event has some of the best golfers, like world number two Rory McIlroy, three-time DP World Tour winner Nicolai Hojgaard, Tommy Fleetwood, four-time DPWT winner Adrion Meronk, and even the Ryder Cup captain, Luke Donald.

The 60 players will be playing the individual event for four days. The winner from the individual play will get 3,000 points for the Race to Dubai rankings, 20.1 points for OWGR, and $425,000 from the $2.5 million prize purse. Moreover, the international Swing winner will also get a bonus $200,000 check.

The event has started as we speak, but how can one enjoy the Dubai Invitational from the comfort of home? And if one chooses to visit the venue itself? Below is the detailed TV schedule and ticket price.
