The European Tour today announced a new tournament, the Golf in Dubai Championship presented by DP World, will be played in the penultimate week of the 2020 season, taking place on the Fire course at Jumeirah Golf Estates from Wednesday December 2 to Saturday December 5.
Designed to present a challenge for even the most experienced golfer, Earth’s natural features will provide differing angles and tough perspectives from each tee. Trees and bunkers will guide the player along the course’s length, while at the same time protecting the ideal line. The meandering, occasionally daunting, water features will be an ever-present factor when lining up shots, forcing a careful drive and constant consideration of ball carry. Earth culminates with holes 15, 16, 17 and 18, described by creator Greg Norman as some of the most challenging in golf. Measuring a collective 1,702 yards, they will offer a “Golden Mile of Golf” to decide the winner of The Championship.
