More Golf in the Desert

The desert in Dubai, that is. It seems that a lot of the big names who aren't teeing it up at Torrey Pines are at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.



The Emirates Golf Club at Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hosts the second of the three events that comprise the European Tour's Middle East Swing. Bryson DeChambeau is the defending champion, seen in the photo above with that really cool-looking trophy that looks like an Arabic coffee pot called a 'Dallah.'

Bryson is there, of course, as is newly-crowned Abu Dhabi champion Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, Tommy Fleetwood, Louis Oosthuizen, Sergio Garcia, Matt Fitzpatrick and Shane Lowry -- as I said, a lot of the big names who aren't at Torrey this week.

The good thing about this is the TV coverage. GC begins their coverage tonight (Wednesday, January 22) at 11pm ET, so there won't be any conflict between the ET and the PGA Tour. We can watch them both!
