2026 DP World Tour Championship Tee Times, Pairings and TV Schedule: How to Watch Rory McIlroy

The 2026 DP World Tour Championship tees off Thursday, Nov. 12, on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. The top 50 players in the Race to Dubai play 72 holes with no cut for a $10 million purse.

Race to Dubai leader Eugenio Chacarra goes off in the final group with Rory McIlroy at 3:40 a.m. ET. McIlroy is chasing his eighth Harry Vardon Trophy, which would tie Colin Montgomerie’s record. Nine players can still win the season-long title.

Jon Rahm plays with Aaron Rai at 3:20 a.m. ET after winning the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship last week. Patrick Reed and Casey Jarvis go out at 3:30 a.m.
