Taking place from November 14-17, 2024, at the Jumeirah Golf Estates, the tournament promises an unforgettable experience for golf fans, complete with top-tier players, intense competition, and a commitment to environmental responsibility.

What to Expect at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship

The DP World Tour Championship marks the grand finale of the DP World Tour and is one of the biggest events in the golfing calendar that brings together the world’s best players. With high stakes, impressive prize money, and an elite field, the DP World Tour Championship is known for its electric atmosphere and thrilling play.

This year’s lineup promises to be no exception. Fans can expect to see top players like Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, and Jon Rahm, among others, bringing their A-game to the course. But beyond the intense competition, this year’s championship is also an eco-friendly showcase, with a strong focus on sustainability.

The Greenest DP World Tour Championship Yet

As part of its commitment to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework, the DP World Tour has set ambitious goals to reduce direct carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2040. Here’s how the 2024 edition of the championship is turning these promises into action:

• Water Conservation: This year’s tournament prioritizes water-saving measures. For the fourth year in a row, plastic water bottles are banned. Free water walls across the course have been dispensed and a new mobile water buggy will also roam the course to offer refills, trackable via the player tracker on the Tour’s app.

• Diesel Fuel Reduction: To reduce diesel use, IoT-enabled electric machinery is now used to prepare the golf course, a change estimated to save around 10,000 liters of diesel. Solar lighting will also be widely used across the venue, reducing energy usage by an impressive 30%.

• Waste Management and Food Sustainability: Aiming for zero waste to landfill, the championship has partnered with an official waste management company, to minimize waste. Food composters using ORCA technology will convert food scraps into nutrient-rich liquid, and there will be no plastic cutlery or straws on-site.

• The Earth Lounge: On the 16th hole, the tournament’s carbon-neutral Earth Lounge will be powered entirely by solar panels and hydrogen generators, achieving a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions. Constructed with eco-friendly materials, the lounge will feature recycled furniture and avoid PVC branding for the second consecutive year.
