Your chance to play golf with Niall Horan in Dubai



Pop star Niall Horan will attend the 29th edition of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament to play alongside Rory McIlroy. Horan previously caddied for McIlroy at the Par-3 Contest at the Augusta National in 2015, but this time the singer will participate in the ProAm on Wednesday, January 24, 2018.

There is also the chance for one winner to play in the ProAm with McIlroy and Horan. To enter, users must download the VoxGolf app, play nine holes of golf on a VoxGold-registered course and submit their score through the app. If a course is not currently listed on VoxGolf, entrants should email operations@voxgolf.com and the course will be added within 24 hours, allowing golfers from around the globe the opportunity to take part. The winner will also win a seven-night stay in Dubai, including flights, plus tickets to each day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic along with a plus one.

"I’m delighted to confirm my attendance at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in January. It's an incredible event on the European Tour schedule and I am very much looking forward to playing with my pal Rory in the ProAm and attending the Friday night clinic also. Thanks to Omega and Golf in Dubai for the invite, I've not been to Dubai for a while so very much looking forward to returning," said Horan.

Tickets for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic are priced from AED 175 for a daily ticket. Children who are 16 years and under can enter free of charge if accompanied by a paying adult; visit www.omegadubaidesertclassic.com
