Solid ground was optional for Rory McIlroy in Abu Dhabi. In "We Put Rory McIlroy On A Boat...Then Kept Moving It Further Away", the target is the finishing green at Yas Links, and every successful attempt sends his floating platform farther out across the water.

The challenge starts with an approach shot and stretches all the way to a full drive. It gives DP World Tour's tournament week a wonderfully literal change of footing: McIlroy has to find the green without the dependable fairway beneath him. A separate short clip captures him reaching it from the boat.

Back on land, "Round 4 Highlights | 2026 Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship" was the week's most watched upload, nearing half a million views. McIlroy supplies an opening drive onto the green and an eagle soon afterwards, before Jon Rahm's precise back-nine approaches shape the finish. Rahm takes the title, with Tyrrell Hatton second and McIlroy third. Viewers are discussing the sound of Rahm's iron strike and the presence of both Rahm and Hatton in the field.

The final-round highlights and the boat challenge are also the full-length uploads carrying the most momentum right now. Across the channel, daily viewing is more than twice its usual level, while subscribers grew over the week. Among nearby sports channels, DP World Tour had the largest weekly views gain; Professional Darts Corporation and NRL are currently drawing fewer daily views than usual.

There is room for less polished golf, too. Alongside McIlroy's spectacular drives, the week's selection includes Eugenio Chacarra duffing a chip. Even an Abu Dhabi highlight reel needs the occasional reminder that this game is difficult.
