The DP World Tour Championship Pro-Am witnessed an extraordinary gathering of sporting icons at Jumeirah Golf Estates, marking a historic moment as spectators were invited to the event for the first time. The star-studded lineup included four-time Formula One world champion Alain Prost, Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit, and former World No. 5 tennis player Henri Leconte, who joined DP World Tour professionals for a thrilling day on the Earth course. Prost, paired with professional golfer Laurie Canter, expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the course, reflecting on his journey back to the game after a long hiatus. ‘I’ve been playing a lot more golf in recent years, and it’s been a joy to improve and enjoy the atmosphere here,’ Prost remarked. Gullit, playing alongside Joost Luiten, shared his excitement about his Pro-Am debut, humorously noting the abundance of bunkers on the course. The event also featured padel star Paquito Navarro, cricket’s Liam Livingstone, tennis player Alexei Popyrin, and Premier League veteran James Milner, all adding their competitive spirit to the prestigious tournament. In collaboration with Dubai Premier Padel, attendees were treated to free padel lessons and activations throughout the four-day event, further enhancing the experience for fans and participants alike.
