Abu Dhabi Championship will switch to November next year as new Dubai event also planned

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship will move from its traditional start-of-the-year slot to become part of a new season-climax play-off next year, as part of a major revamp of the DP World Tour.

The tournament at Yas Links will switch from January to instead take place from November 7 to 10 in 2024.

It will be the first event of a new, two-tournament play-off, with the traditional season-ending event, the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates, to follow a week later.

Golf fans in the UAE will still have plenty of tour action to feast on at the start of 2024, with the addition of a new tournament.

Dubai Creek, which hosted the Dubai Desert Classic twice, will return to the tour when it hosts the new Dubai Invitational from January 11 to 14.

The Classic is scheduled at Emirates Golf Club the following week, before the tour heads to Al Hamra for the Ras Al Khaimah Championship the week after that.

The new-look Desert Swing concludes from February 1 to 4 with the new Bahrain Championship.
