The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will make history as, for the first time, five golfers will be flying the UAE flag in a DP World Tour event.

This historic moment will take place at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, hosted at Al Hamra Golf Club, marking the seventh event on the DP World Tour this season.

Leading the way for the UAE will be professional five-time DP World Tour winner Adrian Otaegui, currently ranked 175th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Otaegui will be looking for a strong performance after making the cut at the Rolex Series Hero Dubai Desert Classic last week.

Also competing under the UAE flag will be Joshua Grenville-Wood, currently ranked 596th in the OWGR. Grenville-Wood has played in six DP World Tour events, with two top-10 finishes.
