 DP WORLD TOUR COLLABORATES WITH GOLF+ TO BRING THE DP WORLD TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP TO VIRTUAL REALITY

GOLF+, the leading virtual reality (VR) golf experience available on the Meta Quest platform, has agreed a new partnership with the DP World Tour and Dubai Golf to bring the iconic Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai into its immersive virtual experience.

Through this collaboration, GOLF+ users will have the chance to play the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course in stunning virtual reality, with the course meticulously recreated down to every detail. Players will experience the course’s challenging layout, picturesque backdrop, and iconic finishing holes as if they were standing on the ground in Dubai and playing the DP World Tour Championship – the Tour’s season-ending event.

This partnership underscores the commitment of both the DP World Tour and Dubai Golf to embrace innovative technologies that bring the sport to wider audiences. Fans of the DP World Tour will now be able to virtually walk the same fairways and greens as the world’s top professionals playing one of its biggest Rolex Series events, building deeper connections with the Tour, its players, and the game itself.

GOLF+, already recognised as the Official VR Golf Game of the PGA TOUR, continues to expand its offerings and the addition of the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course highlights the company’s commitment to delivering unforgettable golf experiences from around the world within the platform.

“We are thrilled to partner with the DP World Tour and bring the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course to our growing platform,” said Ryan Engle, CEO and Co-founder of GOLF+. “Our mission has always been to make golf more accessible, and this partnership reflects our commitment to delivering unique golf experiences from all corners of the globe.”

“We are excited to be working with GOLF+ and introduce the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course to a new generation of golfers through virtual reality,” said Richard Bunn, Chief Revenue and Content Officer at the DP World Tour. “This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to engage both seasoned golfers and newcomers to the game, allowing them to experience one of our Tour’s most iconic venues like never before.”

“We are excited to see Earth Course come to life in such an immersive way,” said Christopher May, CEO of Dubai Golf. “This collaboration with GOLF+ and the DP World Tour allows us to present one of our most iconic courses to a global audience. Golfers around the world can now experience the Earth Course as if they were playing it in person, and I’m eager to see how this innovative approach will help grow the sport and engage new fans.”

The Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course will be available on GOLF+ starting November 6 and is accessible to all Meta Quest users.
