Matt Fitzpatrick voices concern, frustration about DP World Tour's playoffs in Middle East amid Iran War

The DP World Tour is scheduled to finish its 2026 season in the Middle East. But two months from the tour's playoffs, there are growing questions if the finale will take place, or where.

The final two events—the Abu Dhabi Championship and DP World Tour Championship—are slated for the first two weeks of November in the United Arab Emirates. However, the area has been targeted by ballistic missiles and drone strikes as an upshot of the Iran War. With the conflict showing no signs of slowing down, there have been rumblings as to whether the Old World circuit would risk visiting UAE given the regional instability.
