DP WORLD CONTAINER COMPLETES ITS GLOBAL JOURNEY

- — Harry Grimshaw, Golf Editor

Over the course of the 2022 Tour season, DP World created a revolution­ary shipping container in a mission to fill it with lost and unused golf balls to give them a second life in grassroots golf.

Travelling over 24,378km and powered by DP Worlds logistics, the container has visited six DP World Tour events over eight months. Starting at the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic in January, the container was unveiled. A European swing was up next, with visits to the Dutch Open, Porsche European Open, Volvo Car Scandinavi­an Mixed, BMW Internatio­nal Open, BMW PGA Championsh­ip, and now on its seventh and final stop, the DP World Tour Championsh­ip Dubai.

There are five global golf organisati­ons that will benefit from the reused golf balls, and DP World has focused on three key areas of growth — golf for the disabled, junior golf, and women’s golf.
