Rory McIlroy, who is chasing further titles this season, said he sees no risk in competing in Abu Dhabi despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The Northern Irish golfer made the comments ahead of the tournament in the United Arab Emirates, expressing confidence in the security measures put in place by organizers.
The remarks come as the region experiences heightened geopolitical uncertainty. McIlroy, a four-time major champion, is set to feature in the event which forms part of the DP World Tour schedule. A file photo from September 2026 shows McIlroy teeing off during the Irish Open at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland.
