European Tour fights back with €14m event

The European Tour is poised to release details of the richest golf tournament in the world later today with Dubai set to host a €14m season-ending event from 2009.

A prize fund of €7m will be put aside for the limited-field event itself with another €7m divided among the highest-ranked players as the race for the Order of Merit is elevated to a new level at the Emirates Golf Club.
