A DP World Tour Rolex Series flagship, staged at Yas Links on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, a Kyle Phillips links-style course laid along the water. It moved from its long-standing January date to November in 2024, which now places it in the run-in to the tour's season finale and pulls a strong field. Generous hospitality and easy access from the capital's hotels make it one of the more comfortable weeks to spectate.

How to attend
Grounds tickets are sold via the DP World Tour site and Abu Dhabi Sports Council, with weekday practice access often free or very low-cost and weekend and hospitality packages priced higher. Book with the November dates in mind rather than the historic January slot. Yas Island is 15 minutes from Zayed International and is served by hotel shuttles.
The November 2026 dates are still unconfirmed and no ticket sale has opened for this edition yet.
Insider tip
Note the championship moved from its historic January slot to November in 2024, so old guides will send you at the wrong time of year - and staying on Yas Island puts you walking distance from the course with the theme parks and F1 circuit alongside.
