Golf: McIlroy Targets Legacy Milestones As Sharma, Sandhu Are Set For Dubai Desert Classic
Hero Dubai Desert Classic: The reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy returns to the 37th Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club in Dubai this week with his ambitions fixed firmly on legacy. While chasing more titles, the 36-year-old is also eyeing an Olympic medal and additional Major Championships as part of his long-term goals.
Dubai continues to be a special venue for McIlroy. It was 20 years ago when he first appeared in Dubai as a 16-year-old amateur in 2006. That debut ended with a missed cut, as Tiger Woods edged Ernie Els in a playoff for the title. After turning professional, McIlroy finished T-52 in 2007, missed the cut again in 2008, but from 2009 onwards, the event has felt like his domain.
Amidst the global focus on McIlroy, the 2026 Dubai Desert Classic will also feature important Indian storylines. Both Shubhankar Sharma and Yuvraj Singh Sandhu are in the field on special tournament invitations, extending India’s presence at a key Rolex Series event.
