Jon Rahm returns to the DP World Tour in January

Crowned number 1 in the Race in 2022 on the Earth Course in Jumeirah, the Basque Jon Rahm declined the invitation to go to Dubai for the grand final of the DP World Tour two weeks ago. On the other hand, he will be very present in the Emirates at the start of next year since his participation in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic was made official this Thursday.

The double major winner, Jon Rahm is expected to debut at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club in early 2025.

Even though the Spaniard shone in the emirate, with three victories in the DP World Tour Championship in 2017, 2019 and 2022, he had never taken part in the tournament played on the Majlis course and the Emirates Golf Club.
