Originally designated to be hosted in Dubai, the tournament has been relocated to the Middle East and is being organized in collaboration with the Emirates Golf Federation.
The tournament is officially scheduled to take place from October 25 to 28, 2023. This decision to host the championship in an odd-numbered year is in alignment with the International Golf Federation's objective of avoiding scheduling conflicts with the Summer Olympic Games in the same year. Here is the tournament schedule:
Wednesday, Oct. 25
10:30 P.M ET
Thursday, Oct. 26
10:30 P.M ET
Friday, Oct. 27
10:30 P.M ET
Saturday, Oct. 28
10:30 P.M ET
The format of the tournament involves two or three players from each team competing in 18 holes of strokeplay that goes for four days. Each round’s team score will be the total of the two lowest scores in the game. This format makes it unique and instigates players to showcase collaborative efforts.
