The news
The DP World Tour Championship returns to Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai from 12 to 15 November 2026, the season ending finale of the DP World Tour and the climax of the Race to Dubai. Played on the Earth Course for a prize fund of USD 10 million, it is the Rolex Series event that crowns the season long champion and sends the European based tour into winter.
It is also one of the most accessible elite venues in world golf, because the Earth Course is open to visiting golfers for most of the year. For traveling golfers that makes the finale a perfect excuse to plan a Dubai golf trip. Here is our preview of the event and the course you can play yourself.
The course
The Earth Course was designed by Greg Norman and opened in 2009, a championship parkland layout of about 7,706 yards at par 72, framed by lakes, broad bunkering and thousands of mature trees imported to give a links of green in the desert. Its closing par 5 18th, a sweeping double dogleg to a green ringed by water and grandstands, is one of the most recognizable finishing holes in golf and routinely decides the title.

Our take, and how to play it
The finale is the best of the DP World Tour packed into one week: a stacked field chasing the Race to Dubai, a true risk and reward course and a grandstand finish at the 18th that the format almost guarantees. November in Dubai is close to perfect for golf, warm and dry, which is exactly why the tour closes its season there.
The pleasure for visitors is that you can tee it up on the same course. The Earth Course welcomes resort and visiting play for much of the year at an indicative green fee around USD 245, so a trip timed around the finale lets you watch the best and then play the venue. We build Dubai golf weeks that pair the Earth Course with the city's other championship layouts and the right base hotel.
