The story

Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a Rolex Series event with a long-term commitment on the DP World Tour schedule, is played at Yas Links Abu Dhabi, the Middle East's only true links golf course and an 18-hole, 7,450-yard layout ranked among Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses in the World, giving the tournament a genuinely distinct wind-and-firm-turf playing test compared to the region's more common parkland-style venues.

The Middle East's first true links golf course, built to replicate the wind-exposed, firm-turf conditions of coastal British and Irish courses rather than the parkland style common across most Gulf golf venues, gives Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship a genuinely distinct playing test on the DP World Tour calendar.

02

The mystery stays covered

Securing the tournament's Rolex Series status with a long-term commitment on the DP World Tour schedule, alongside an elevated calendar position, also reflects a strategic long-term investment in the event's standing rather than a fixed legacy date
