Hatton’s Historic Win
Tyrrell Hatton has added another feather to his cap by clinching the title at the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic. On a nail-biting final day, Hatton managed to overturn a one-shot deficit, finishing the tournament at 15 under par. This victory marks his first Rolex Series title since 2021, and it’s clear that the 33-year-old golfer is in fine form heading into the Ryder Cup later this year.
A Dramatic Final Day
As Rory McIlroy made a fierce charge to finish fourth, the excitement was palpable. Hatton, however, maintained his composure amid the pressures that come with high-stakes golf. “I said earlier in the week this is one of the events you want to have on your CV,” he mentioned in a post-game interview, reflecting on the significance of this iconic event on the DP World Tour.
A Future Star of Team Europe?
With this latest win, Hatton solidifies his position as a likely member of Team Europe for the upcoming Ryder Cup. Playing in the LIV Golf League hasn’t dimmed his competitive spirit; in fact, it seems to have fueled it. After a somewhat ‘scruffy’ finish, Hatton described the feeling of sinking his final putt as “amazing.” His journey from being a contender to holding the trophy is a testament to his grit and determination.
