Hilton launches pop-up hotel room overlooking top golfers at DP World Tour Championship

Hilton has opened a single hotel room at the 14th DP World Tour Championship in Dubai that offers a bird's-eye view of the world's top golfers in action.

Called A Stay on the Green by Hilton, the suite has a front balcony from where guests can watch the professionals tee off on the Greg Norman-designed Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

The room was built specifically for the tournament, which starts on Thursday, and will remain at the venue for a week.

Another temporary Stay on the Green by Hilton will launch at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January.

Members of the hotel group's Hilton Honours programme can book the room in Dubai as it goes up for auction with a starting bid of 100,000 points. Visitors cannot enter the free-standing structure unless they have made an overnight reservation.

The package, for two people, includes a one-night stay, VIP hospitality tickets to one day of the event, access to the Championship Chalet on the 18th green, a three-course lunch, complimentary bar service and afternoon tea.

The DP World Tour Championship is a tournament on the European Tour and the culmination of the DP World Tour Rankings.

Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick are headlining the event as the pair each bid to become the first to win the season-ending event for a third time.

McIlroy, who won around the Earth Course in 2012 and 2015, has led the season-long standings since finishing runner-up at the Open at St Andrews in July.

Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, sits closest to his former Ryder Cup teammate, helped in large part by securing his first major title with the US Open in Brookline in June. Fitzpatrick won the DP World Tour Championship in 2016 and 2020, while he was runner-up last year to Collin Morikawa.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers

Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
