In late January 2026, the Dubai Desert Classic once again takes a central place on the international golf calendar, confirming its status as one of the first major events of the season. The tournament is played at the Emirates Golf Club on the Majlis Course, a venue that has been integral to the identity of the event for more than three decades and continues to test players both technically and mentally. Founded in the late 1980s, the Dubai Desert Classic was among the first top level tournaments to bring professional golf to the United Arab Emirates, gradually building a reputation recognised worldwide. The course, seemingly open yet full of subtle challenges, rewards accuracy, rhythm management and consistency over the four days of competition. The 2026 edition is expected to feature a high profile field, combining established champions with emerging talents from the tour. Among the most anticipated names is Rory McIlroy, whose long and successful association with the tournament has made him one of its emblematic figures. His presence underlines the sporting weight of an event that is often decided only in the closing holes. The Dubai Desert Classic thus confirms its role as a key early season stop, combining tradition, technical challenge and close competition, and maintaining the continuity that has made it one of the most recognisable tournaments in international golf.
