Four of the world's top 20 are set to feature in the latest Hero Challenge in Dubai on Tuesday, with extended coverage on Sky Sports Golf.

The exciting night-golf event made its debut at last year's British Masters supported by Sky Sports, while this week's event under the floodlights at the Atlantis Hotel is the third of its kind this season.

Race to Dubai leader Tommy Fleetwood makes his Hero Challenge debut in the one-hole knockout contest, with world No 5 Jon Rahm and BMW PGA Champion Alex Noren also taking part.
