November 8, 2025 –<\/strong> As the world\u2019s top golfers descend on Yas Links<\/strong> for the DP World Tour\u2019s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship<\/strong>, the iconic venue has announced the launch of the Tommy Fleetwood Academy (TFA)<\/strong> \u2013 marking a new era for player development in the UAE capital.<\/p>\n

Following the recent significant upgrade of its state-of-the-art training facilities, the academy will now operate fully under the Tommy Fleetwood Academy<\/strong> brand, expanding the partnership between Viya<\/strong> and one of the sport\u2019s most admired figures. The launch cements Yas Links Abu Dhabi<\/strong>\u2019s position as a centre of excellence for golf performance and education in the region.<\/p>\n

The opening of the Tommy Fleetwood Academy<\/strong> at Yas Links Abu Dhabi<\/strong> brings TFA\u2019s proven player-development philosophy to the UAE capital for the first time. The new facility complements the existing TFA location at Jumeirah Golf Estates<\/strong>, creating a connected performance network across the Viya portfolio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood<\/strong>, Professional Golfer and Founder of the Tommy Fleetwood Academy, said: \u201cThe UAE has always felt like a second home for me and my family. We\u2019ve built something truly special with the academy in Dubai, and it just keeps growing. To now be building in Abu Dhabi and giving something back to the region that has given us so much means a lot to us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Golfers at Yas Links will benefit from cutting-edge coaching technology and an elite-level performance environment, including two swing studios with advanced simulators, a dedicated indoor putting studio, and world-class training systems such as PLATFORM Golf, Trackman, Swing Catalyst, <\/strong>and Sam PuttLab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The move follows a major upgrade completed earlier this year, which positioned the Yas Links\u2019 practice facilities among the most advanced in the Middle East. The relaunch under the TFA brand now brings Fleetwood\u2019s signature approach to player development to Abu Dhabi, combining elite insight, data-led performance tools, and a passion for growing the game at every level.<\/p>\n

Karl Whitehead<\/strong>, Cluster Manager at Viya Golf, commented: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to welcome the Tommy Fleetwood Academy to Yas Links. Abu Dhabi continues to play a leading role in growing the game, and this partnership elevates that vision even further. TFA brings world-class expertise, technology, and inspiration to golfers across the capital.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Christopher May<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of Viya, added: \u201cViya is committed to offering the best golf and leisure experiences across the UAE. The Tommy Fleetwood Academy represents excellence, professionalism, and a passion for player development \u2013 values we share across our venues. With the TFA now operating at both Yas Links and Jumeirah Golf Estates, we\u2019re proud to offer golfers two of the finest coaching destinations in the region.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Marc Arnold<\/strong>, Director of Instruction at Viya, said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to welcome the Tommy Fleetwood Golf Academy to Yas Links Abu Dhabi. This partnership reflects our commitment to world-class coaching and to growing the game across the UAE. Being associated with Tommy\u2019s name and legacy is a privilege, and we\u2019re excited about the impact this will have in further enhancing our programmes and inspiring more people to play.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The launch of the Tommy Fleetwood Academy<\/strong> at Yas Links Abu Dhabi<\/strong> comes amid rising participation across the emirate, supported by expanded junior and ladies\u2019 programmes and the club\u2019s largest-ever team of PGA professionals.<\/p>\n

As the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship<\/strong> showcases the venue on the global stage, the new academy underscores Viya\u2019s mission to make golf more accessible, inclusive, and performance-driven throughout the Middle East.<\/p>\n
