DP World Tour’s 2024 Dubai Invitational field and players rankings explored

The DP World Tour is starting this week with the 2024 Dubai Invitational. The event is set to tee off at the Dubai Creek Resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Thursday, January 11. The first event of the 2024 European Tour season will see a 156-player field compete for the big prize.

The field for the Dubai Invitational is set. The event will have some of the biggest names in Europe lining up including four of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Players like Tommy Fleetwood, Ryan Fox, Adrian Meronk, and Nicolai Højgaard will go up against each other in Dubai.

However, the field is being highlighted by the presence of the reigning champion Rory McIlroy. The World No. 2 will return to defend his title and win the $2,500,000 prize on offer.

McIlroy will be the highest-ranked golfer on the Dubai Invitational field. It is pertinent to note that top players like Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley, and Ludvig Aberg will be missing from the field as they chose to play on the PGA Tour’s Sony Open in Hawaii instead.

The European tour event will have others like Luke Donald, Pablo Larrazabal, Thriston Lawrence and Francesco Molinari at the Dubai Creek Resort.
