Tyrrell Hatton wins Dubai Desert Classic, secures fifth Rolex title

Tyrrell Hatton clinched victory at the 2025 Dubai Desert Classic, securing his eighth title on the DP World Tour and equaling Jon Rahm's record with his fifth Rolex Series title. Hatton shot a final-round 3-under 69, finishing at 15-under, just one stroke ahead of New Zealand's Daniel Hillier. Despite a shaky start with a bogey on the first hole, Hatton regained control by the fifth hole and maintained his lead through a tense finish, needing to sink a crucial 5-foot par putt on the last hole. He described the win as 'amazing' and a 'dream come true,' highlighting the iconic status of the tournament on his career CV. With this victory, Hatton is expected to move into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings and solidify his position for the upcoming Ryder Cup. Additionally, he earned a substantial winner's check of 1.49 million Euros for his triumph.
