Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship (January)

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links Golf Club delivers the strongest field of any January golf event worldwide, with 8 of the world’s top 20 players confirmed for 2026. The tournament’s $9 million prize pool ranks second only to the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, and the desert winter light makes Yas Links one of the most photographed venues on tour. Average attendance exceeded 45,000 per day in 2025, a 12% increase over 2024, outperforming #2-ranked Dubai Desert Classic in spectator numbers.
