2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship round 1 tee times and pairings explored

The 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is the first playoff tournament and penultimate event of the DP World Tour season. The field consists of the top 70 players on the tour throughout the year, playing at the Yas Links course in the United Arab Emirates.

For the first round of the tournament, 24 groups have been formed, including 22 trios and two duos. Some of the groups will attract a lot of attention because of the names involved.

One of the groups includes Adam Scott, Tyrrell Hatton and Matteo Manassero. Hatton is coming off a victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, while Manassero has all but secured his PGA Tour card for 2025. Scott also had a solid season in America and his history in professional golf makes him a fan favorite.

Another highly anticipated group will be Rory McIlroy, Thriston Lawrence and Rasmus Hojgaard, who hold the top 3 spots (in that order) on the DP World Tour standings (dubbed the Race to Dubai).

McIlroy leads the rankings by more than 1,500 points, while Lawrence and Hojgaard will be looking to consolidate their status as leaders of the list of 10 players who will earn their PGA Tour card for 2025 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre and Shane Lowry will play in the final group of the first round at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. MacIntyre is coming off the best season of his career so far with two wins, including his home tournament (Scottish Open). Meanwhile, Fleetwood and Lowry are two of Europe's top stars who always generate a lot of excitement among fans.
