The Dubai Invitational marks the start of the DP World Tour in the 2024 calendar year. The season officially began on that circuit before the end of 2023 with six tournaments played in Australia and Africa.
With less than 48 hours to tee off at the Dubai International, the tee times of the 60 participating professionals for the first two rounds have been set. The tournament will start on Thursday, January 11, at 8:35 (local time) and 11:35 pm on Wednesday, January 10 (according to Eastern Time).
The players have been grouped into thirty pairs to play the Dubai Invitational. They will be joined by amateurs who will play only the first three rounds. The top-ranked golfer in the field, Rory McIlroy, will start the first round at 12:14 am on Thursday (all times according to Eastern Time), grouped with Ryan Fox.
Other interesting groups on the first day of the Dubai Invitational will be Tommy Fleetwood and Nicolai Hojgaard (1:36 am Thursday) and Luke Donald and Yannik Paul (12:52 am Thursday).
