The 2025 Dubai Desert Classic golf features a total prize money fund of $9,000,000 for the DP World Tour event.
The Dubai Desert Classic is the first event of the 2025 DP World Tour calendar and takes place at Emirates Golf Club in Dubai.
The tournament, which is part of the Rolex Series of events, was first held in 1989 and is contested on the Majlis Course at the Emirates GC.
A total of $9,000,000 in prize money is on offer, the same as in 2024 when Rory McIlroy won the event for the second time in a row and fourth in total.
The prize money has risen from an initial $450,000 when Mark James won the inaugural Dubai Desert Classic.
