Emirates onboard with Race to Dubai
Emirates has renewed its partnership with the European Tour’s DP World Tour Championship, the golf season’s grand finale event.
The carrier will be the official airline for the USD8 million event – to be staged on Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Earth course from November 22-25 – for the next three years.
The DP World Tour Championship is the climax of The Race to Dubai, which comprises 46 tournaments played in 25 different destinations across the globe to decide who will be Europe’s No 1 player.
The DP World Tour Championship will feature The Race to Dubai’s top 60 golfers, including US PGA Championship winner Rory McIlroy, the current leader.
"As the official partner of the European Ryder Cup team competing in the USA later this month, it is a great honour to be further strengthening our relationship with the European Tour," said Maurice Flanagan, executive vice chairman Emirates Airline & Group.
Emirates will be flying in many of the players and international golf fans to the event which last year attracted more than 40,000 spectators, as well as a global television audience.
