Event Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stars will be out in Dubai this week, as the Desert Classic has attracted a typically red-hot field of world-class competitors. This event has been staged annually since 1989, with players covering a total of 7,428 yards in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McIlroy may not have ended his long wait for a major last season, but his performances on the DP World Tour ensured that he was a clear cut winner of the Race to Dubai. McIlroy won two events on the DP World Tour last season, which included victory in the Dubai Desert Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
