World Number Eight, Viktor Hovland, has been confirmed to tee it up at the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

The 2022 Dubai Desert Classic winner will return to the DP World Tour from 16–19 January at Emirates Golf Club, in the 36th edition of the region’s longest-running golf tournament, having not appeared on the DP World Tour since the Genesis Scottish Open in July.

The Norwegian star, currently competing in The Sentry on the PGA Tour, has confirmed that he has split from his coach, Joe Mayo, for the second time ahead of the new PGA Tour season and has also revealed that he fractured his right toe on a bed frame upon his arrival in Hawaii, with doctors advising him that it would take four to six weeks for his toe to heal fully.

The 27-year-old will be joined in the US$9 million Rolex Series event alongside Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Patrick Reed, Tommy Fleetwood, Thomas Pieters, Min Woo Lee and other top players which can be found here.
