Matt Fitzpatrick says he is not “100% comfortable” about travelling to Dubai for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in November, where he is scheduled to defend his title.

The comments come as he weighs the prospect of returning to the event as the reigning champion. Both outlets report that Fitzpatrick’s position is cautious rather than definitive, reflecting uncertainty about the trip timing and his comfort with the decision ahead of the tournament.

The reporting is consistent in focusing on Fitzpatrick’s stated unease rather than providing details of his reasons or any response from the Tour. The two sources do not differ on the core message: Fitzpatrick indicates he has reservations about making the trip while carrying defending-champion status.
