Englishman wins event he used to skip school to watchRory McIlroy admits ‘game management’ needs work
Tempestuous Tyrrell, the Dubai winner. Beware the angry golfer. Say what you like about Tyrrell Hatton’s frequent tantrums – and plenty do – but the Englishman’s ability can never be called into question. Hatton will surge back into the top 10 of the world on account of his Dubai Desert Classic victory, with a Ryder Cup return at Bethpage this year already looking a formality.
Many have disappeared from view after switching to LIV Golf. Hatton, by contrast, can still mix it with the best. This marks his second DP World Tour success since joining the rebel circuit in early 2024. Even the emergence of Rory McIlroy from the Sunday shadows was insufficient to knock Hatton off stride at the Emirates Club.
