The DP World Tour is launching a new tournament in Dubai next year that will see 60 professionals compete alongside 60 amateurs.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Rory McIlroy is a regular competitor in Dubai, having won three Desert Classic titles and two DP World Tour Championships in his career<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Dubai Invitational will be held in alternate years, starting off in 2024, when it will be held at the Dubai Creek Resort from January 11-14.<\/p>\n

The tournament follows the same format as the Dunhill Links Championship, with 72 holes of stroke play comprising a three-day team Pro-Am and a final round featuring professionals only.<\/p>\n

The Dubai Invitational is schedule to take place the week before the Dubai Desert Classic, which is being held at Emirates Golf Club from January 18-21.<\/p>\n

Among those already committed to playing in both events is world no.2 Rory McIlroy, who will be defending the Dubai Desert Classic title he won earlier this year after competing in the new Pro-Am event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to start my year at the Dubai Invitational,\u201d said McIlroy. \u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed coming back to Dubai to set up my season and with a pro-am format, this tournament is going to be an enjoyable week. Dubai Creek Resort is a fantastic course and given the support we get in Dubai from the fans, I\u2019m sure they are going to make it another great week on the golfing calendar.\u201d<\/p>\n
