Organisers have announced that play at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic will be delayed until 10:00 am due to a flooded course.

On Thursday, they announced minor adjustments to the guest experience on Friday, January 27.

There will be no public parking available at Emirates Golf Club and spectators are strongly advised to use public transport.

The Al Khail Metro Station, located close to the venue will run from 5:00 am to 1:00 am, while RTA and Careem taxis will have a drop-off point directly outside the Club.

Commuters are also advised to check the RTA website for various bus routing options to the site.

Thursday's opening day was closed to the public due to adverse weather conditions, which meant play was delayed by more than six hours.
