The Solheim cup is settled, the Ryder Cup resolved, but the team play keeps coming thick and fast this month. 

And it is two of the newest, most-innovative circuits that take centre stage.

The Ladies European Tour polishes off its Aramco Team Series 2023 slate in Hong Kong and Riyadh in October, with plenty of Solheim Cup stardust on show as Lilia Vu (pictured right) is among those who have signed up to compete alongside the LET’s finest, and Dubai’s Chiara Noja hopes to retain the Aramco Team Series title she won in dramatic playoff fashion last year over Charley Hull in Saudi Arabia. 

Those Aramco Team Series events take place either side of the gents returning to Royal Greens Golf & Country Club near Jeddah for the LIV Golf Individual Title finale before heading to Miami for the Team Championship finals.

We are sure to see more fireworks at King Abdullah Economic City as defending champion Brooks Koepka and his Smash teammates attempt to hold on to their crowns, and the likes of Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau are in sparkling form as they vie with Talor Gooch for the season-long Individual title. If the LIV Golf action lives up to last year’s drama — where Koepka defeated Smash teammate Peter Uihlein in near darkness on the third extra hole on the Sunday at Royal Greens on the breezy Red Sea coast — we are in for a treat. 

After all the drama in the Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin in Spain, and the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone just outside Rome, teamwork is the name of the game this October and fans in Saudi Arabia will be able to get to grips with the sport as players hold clinics and lessons for aspiring golfers at both Royal Greens with the LIV teams and in the Saudi capital with the ladies.

While the international seasons are coming to a close, in the UAE, things are just hotting up — or should that be cooling down? — as the fair-weather golfers head back out on the fairways.  

Golf Digest Middle East is on hand to keep the golfers entertained with our third edition of Oktoberfest at The Els Club Dubai on October 20, where players will compete for top prizes including playing spots on the 2024 Hero Dubai Desert Classic Pro-Am, Emirates Dubai 7s season passes, Country Club membership at The Els Club, Hero Dubai Desert Classic hospitality tickets and much more from our sponsors.

You can book your spot in the 18-hole shotgun-start for AED 795. Go to golfdigestme.com/events for more information.

All of this is in store before our friends at the DP World Tour swing back into town for their own season-ending showpiece — the $10 million Rolex Series DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. 

Spanish Superman Jon Rahm will be seeking his fourth DP World Tour Championship title on the Earth Course from November 16-19, while Race to Dubai leader Rory McIlroy is hunting a fifth Harry Vardon trophy in the season-long rankings race. With the 2024 calendar shake-up on the cards that will see the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship move to November to form a two-event playoff alongside the DP World Tour Championship, this will be the last chance to witness the action in its current format and see out a thrilling year of golf in style.
