The DP World Tour's fortnight in the UAE begins in Abu Dhabi with 11 of the top 70 players opting out, per golfweek.usatoday.com.

Organizers are assessing safety protocols for the event, as Abu Dhabi is considered Level 3 dangerous for the tournament, Bloomberg reports.

Flight ADY425 is climbing out of Abu Dhabi at 3,350 ft, heading southeast, as regional tensions persist in the Gulf, according to live aviation data.

OpenAI's Sam Altman has signed energy and government deals in the UAE amid a broader Gulf funding push, al-monitor.com notes.
