After a successful Hero Dubai Desert Classic outing, the DP World Tour is headed to Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, for the Ras Al Khaimah Championship. The European circuit event is set to begin on February 2 and conclude on the 5th.

The 2023 Ras al Khaimah Championship is set to be played at its originally decided venue as per the schedule. The event will take place at the Al Hamra Golf Club in Ras al Khaimah and will have a whopping $2 million purse. The event does not have Monday qualifiers and will feature a limited field compared to other DP World Tour events.

2023 Ras al Khaimah Championship field

The 2023 Ras al Khaimah Championship will have a 132-player field. The four-day event, which marks the 10th event of the 2023-2023 DP World Tour schedule, will have top names like 2020 Ryder Cup captain Pádraig Harrington, Viktor Perez, and Thriston Lawrence, amongst others. However, World No. 28 Ryan Fox will headline the field.

The second edition of the Ras al Khaimah Championship will also feature defending champion Nicolai Højgaard. The Danish golfer, who won the debut season last year by beating US golfer Jordan Spieth, will look to defend his title against the likes of Fox, Eddie Pepperell, Adrian Meronk, and more.

However, it’s worth noting that the event only features two of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings among the top contenders, unlike the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
