Hero Dubai Desert Classic Tee Times - Rounds One And Two

Rory McIlroy takes a tee shot during a practice round before the 2024 Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

The first Rolex Series event on the 2024 DP World Tour calendar has a field to match the occasion - and $9m prize money payout - with some of the world's best players in attendance. 

The headliner, as in last week's Dubai Invitational, is four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy. The Ulsterman is looking for his fourth title at the event, and he gets his pursuit underway in a group with his Team Europe Ryder Cup teammate Nicolai Hojgaard and former World No.1 Adam Scott. The three go out at 11.10pm ET (4.10am GMT) in the opening round, and 3.30am ET (8.30am GMT) on Friday. 

While plenty of attention will be on that group, it's far from the only one that stands out. The player who edged McIlroy to victory in last week's tournament, Tommy Fleetwood, begins his challenge at 3.20am ET (8.20am GMT) alongside Cameron Young and Ryan Fox, with the trio teeing it up at 11.00pm ET (4.00am GMT) in the second round.

Other groupings to look out for include the one featuring Open champion Brian Harman, who makes his Hero Dubai Desert Classic debut at 11.00pm ET (4.00am GMT) along with Adrian Meronk and Dan Bradbury, with a 3.20am ET (8.20am GMT) start in round two. 

Elsewhere, former LIV Golf player Bernd Wiesberger makes his DP World Tour return in a group with Paul Waring and Aaron Cockerill, with the group getting started at 3.30am ET (8.30am GMT) in the first round and 11.10pm ET (4.10am GMT) in the second round. 

Below is the complete list of tee times and grouping for the first two rounds of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
