The five-time Major champion will tee it up in the second edition following a history-making 2025 season. He played a starring role in Europe’s Ryder Cup victory at Bethpage Black — their first win on American soil in 13 years.
McIlroy also became the first European to complete the career Grand Slam when he added the 2025 Masters title to his previous Major triumphs at the 2011 US Open, the 2012 and 2014 PGA Championships, and The Open in 2014.
He finished runner-up at the inaugural Dubai Invitational two years ago, one shot behind eventual champion and Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood, who has also confirmed for the 2026 edition.
