We’re just a few days away from the second Rolex Series event in quick succession on the DP World Tour.
Like last week, Dubai is 9 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time which means there’s a bit of planning needed if you want to catch your favourite players live in action. Read on for tee times and a selection of the best groups worth following.

Groups To Watch
Group 17: Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, Bernd Wiesberger
Rory McIlroy is one of only three multiple winners at the Dubai Desert Classic. Can you guess the other two? Find the answer here. All three of these players represented their continent at last September’s Ryder Cup, now each player will simply be focussed on adding to their own individual accomplishments.
This group is out for their first round at 23:00 (EST) on Wednesday and their second round at 03:20 (EST) on Friday.

Group 18: Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry
Another group full of Ryder Cup players follows immediately after the last, with both Tyrell Hatton and Shane Lowry having a chance to win at last week’s Abu Dhabi Championship.
In fact, Lowry went into the final day as the favourite to win, but an incredible opening triple bogey scuppered his chances. Both he and Tyrell will be looking to make amends this week, with former winner Sergio Garcia hoping to join the illustrious list of multiple winners at this event.
This group tee off their first round at 23:10 (EST) on Wednesday and their second round at 03:30 (EST) on Friday.
