EVEN SANS FANS, THE 14TH EDITION OF DUBAI’S ANNUAL LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR STOP WILL HAVE A REACH LIKE NEVER BEFORE

DUBAI'S TIME TO SHINE

BEFORE YOU CAN SHINE, YOU MUST PIVOT. AND THEN PIVOT SOME MORE.

The $285,000 OMEGA Dubai Moonlight Classic will be a vast improvement on last year’s inaugural staging of the 54-hole Pro-Am format and in the same breath unlike 2019, indeed any of Dubai’s 12 previous Ladies European Tour stops at Emirates Golf Club.

After feedback from players, sponsors, and fans, Tournament Director Simon Corkill and his team have ticked off just about every item on their “can-improve” list for 2020 including a shift from May to November and the addition of significantly more action under The Faldo’s bright LEDs to accentuate the unique floodlit part of the distinctive day-night event.

Get Set - Ball-striking success starts at address
