Young athletes from Heroes of Hope, the UAE's non-profit sports academy for people of determination, brought creativity and colour to the DP World Tour Championship, helping complete a striking mural that now adorns the Earth Lounge at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
Ahead of the tournament beginning on Thursday, Heroes of Hope athletes Noah Evans, Thomas O'Brien and Marwan Al Khaja worked alongside local abstract artist Rabab Tantawy to add the finishing touches to the vibrant artwork displayed on the exterior of the Earth Lounge, located beside the 16th green.
Known for blending traditional mediums like oil paint with contemporary techniques such as spray art, Tantawy's mural provides a fresh new look for the Earth Lounge as the DP World Tour Championship prepares to crown its 2025 champion from November 13-16.
The painting session marked a special moment for the young athletes, who have been receiving golf lessons at the Tommy Fleetwood Academy as part of a partnership between the DP World Tour and Heroes of Hope, designed to provide opportunities for people of determination to engage with golf both on and off the course.
This week, the Heroes of Hope participants will receive their final lesson from one of the tournament's leading players on the Race to Dubai, bringing their coaching programme to a memorable conclusion as they experience the championship atmosphere first-hand at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
