Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Tee Times: Rounds One And Two

Rory McIlroy takes a tee shot during a practice round before the Abu Dhabi Championship.

The DP World Tour Play-Offs phase of the season begins with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links.

There, 70 players will compete for overall prize money of $9m and the 50 places available in the season finale, the DP World Tour Championship, where the Race to Dubai champion will be crowned.

Rory McIlroy begins the event leading the Race to Dubai rankings, and he can become mathematically certain of lifting the Harry Vardon Trophy this week with a strong performance and slip-ups from his two closest rivals, Thriston Lawrence and Rasmus Hojgaard.

The trio are grouped together in the opening two rounds, with a start time of 12.23am ET (5.23am GMT) in the first round and 2.50am ET (7.50am GMT) in the second round.

Another strong group features 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott, LIV Golf's Tyrrell Hatton and five-time DP World Tour winner Matteo Manassero. They tee it up at 11.01pm ET (4.01am GMT) in the first round and 1.28am ET (6.28am GMT) in the second round.

Below are the tee times and groupings for the first two rounds of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
