DP World has announced golfing superstar Tommy Fleetwood as its latest global ambassador. He joins cricket royalty Sachin Tendulkar, who was announced as a DP World global ambassador late last year.
Fleetwood, who now lives in Dubai, is ranked 13th in the world and was part of last year's victorious European Ryder Cup team and a two-time winner. He has seven victories on the DP World Tour and won the 2017 Race to Dubai and this year's Dubai Invitational at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club.
Fleetwood and DP World officially opened the DP World Golf Performance Centre at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai in 2022, the first Tommy Fleetwood Academy in the region.
The appointment of Fleetwood as Global Ambassador fits perfectly with DP World’s commitment to growing the game of golf at grassroots level in the region and around the world, encouraging everyone to learn to play golf, something Fleetwood is very passionate about.
Daniel Van Otterdijk, Chief Communications Officer at DP World, said: “We are delighted to have Tommy as the new Global Ambassador for DP World. His appointment is the natural next step and will further strengthen our already very strong partnership.”
“The talent that Tommy represents is perfectly aligned with our goal of further building our brand in the sports space as he appeals to such a large audience base. We look forward to seeing the magic he brings to the game week after week.”
Tommy Fleetwood said: “As a global ambassador for DP World, I am honoured to be strengthening our relationship with DP World.
“Over the past two years, our combined efforts have made significant progress for the sport we love, and I am excited about the future.
Fleetwood added: “DP World is a forward-thinking and innovative company that is committed to investing in the growth of the game of golf. Anyone who knows me knows that I care deeply about the growth of the game of golf.”
The addition of Fleetwood adds another asset to DP World’s growing global sports portfolio. Golf is a year-round sport with a global footprint, reflecting the nature of DP World’s business.
Through innovative, state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure, DP World provides the elements that make the game of golf possible, supporting grassroots initiatives and shaping the future of golf and trade for everyone.
