The Dubai Invitational is a professional golf tournament played on the European Tour.
The tournament was revealed as part of the 2024 European Tour schedule announcement in August 2023. [1] [2] The invitational tournament is a limited-field pro-am with 60 professionals playing alongside 60 amateurs in the first three rounds, with the final round taking place between the professionals only. [3] The tournament is played biannually. [4] [5]
Tommy Fleetwood won the inaugural edition, birdieing the final hole to beat Thriston Lawrence and Rory McIlroy by one shot. [6] The inaugural event also gained attraction and scrutiny due to American club professional Ken Weyand being given a sponsor's invite to play in the event. He only managed to make two birdies during the week, finishing at 53-over-par; 72 shots behind the winning score. [7]
