The DP World Tour says it is keeping the season-ending Playoffs in the United Arab Emirates, despite concerns about player safety amid ongoing conflict in the region. DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings confirms the current plan for the tour’s Playoffs to remain in the Middle East.
The reports from Sky News and Sky Sports both attribute the decision to Kinnings, emphasizing that the tour is proceeding with its established location rather than relocating. While both outlets highlight the safety concerns that have been raised, neither provides details of any specific changes to venues or dates, or of additional security measures. The coverage focuses on the tour’s stated intent to maintain the event’s location despite the broader geopolitical situation.
Overall, the two sources align on the core point: the DP World Tour’s leadership is confirming that the Playoffs will continue to be held in the UAE, and the decision is framed against the backdrop of continuing instability in the region.
