The two-time winner of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship took part in a launch event at the DP World Pavilion Expo Dubai
Olympic Silver Medallist Tommy Fleetwood was among those in attendance for the launch of the inaugural DP World Tour Play-Offs, a two-event series made up of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and DP World Tour Championship.
The eyes of the golfing world will be firmly fixed on the UAE next month as the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, featuring the 70 highest-ranked available players on the DP World Tour, is held at Yas Links on November 7-10.
This event is taking up a new position on the calendar, before the top 50 available players battle it out during the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates one week later on November 14-17, where the DP World Tour’s season-long Race to Dubai champion will be crowned.
Already confirmed to be competing across both events are some of golf’s biggest talents, including Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry, Adam Scott and Robert MacIntyre, while Billy Horschel, who recently claimed his second BMW PGA Championship title, will also be teeing it up in Dubai.

Attendees at the launch event were also treated to a performance by Craig Black, a Scottish visual artist renowned for his innovative ‘Acrylic Fusion’ technique.
The Scot’s eye-catching work has garnered international acclaim, with the versatile analogue process involving hand-pouring layers of acrylic paint to create a mesmerising and unique effect.
Fleetwood was drafted in as Black’s assistant, with the golfer invited to pour the first layer of paint on the unique artwork using UAE colours and specially created to celebrate the launch of the inaugural DP World Tour Play-Offs.
