Olympic silver medallist Tommy Fleetwood will be looking to add to his success this year when he tees it up at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links, from November 7-10.

Fleetwood will be joined in Abu Dhabi by major champions and former world number ones Adam Scott and Justin Rose, who have also qualified for the penultimate event of the 2024 season.

The the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, the fourth Rolex Series event of the season, assumes a new position on the Tour’s schedule as part of the season-ending DP World Tour Play-Offs.

Dubai resident Fleetwood is no stranger to success in the UAE having claimed three of his seven DP World Tour victories to date in the country.

A two-time winner of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, in 2017 and 2018, he also won the season-long Race to Dubai in 2017 and earlier this year took the title at the inaugural Dubai Invitational.

Last month, Fleetwood claimed the silver medal for Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, sharing the podium with world number one Scottie Scheffler and major winner Hideki Matsuyama at Le Golf National, the same venue where he made his Ryder Cup debut in 2018.

Forming part of the new DP World Tour Play-Offs, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship will welcome the top 70 available players from the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex at the conclusion of the Genesis Korea Championship. The Top 50 players on the rankings at the end of the week will then advance to the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
