Dubai Desert ClassicAll the information about the Dubai Desert ClassicTaking place at The Emirates Golf Club in early March every year, The Dubai Desert Classic is one of the most important golf tournaments on the European PGA tour, and an event that attracts the top names in world sport to the emirate to compete for the huge prizes and kudos of winning this prestigious title. 
Players compete over 4 rounds of thrilling golf on the lush Emirates Golf Course in a bid to secure the victory, and past winners of the distinctive trophy include Colin Montgomerie, Ernie Els, and Mark O'Meara. The annual tournament has become one of the major attractions for visitors to Dubai, and many people travel to the emirate annually to join the crowds following their idols from hole to hole as the match unfolds, and the winner is decided. Around the main event, there are a number of smaller attractions to interest visitors, including a challenge match that takes place at the Jebel Ali Golf Course, and a pro-am game played for charity. A number of major exhibitions also continue around the city, and offer visitors the chance to soak up Dubai's unique culture away from the fairway, or to shop for the latest golfing "fashions" and equipment at the International Golf Village. |
