Spiranac will announce the players' names and where they are from to the throngs of fans gathered around the first tee.

The duty is usually the domain of older men.

Legendary starter Ivor Robson held the job for more than 40 years, famously snubbing the call of nature to stand stoically on the tee for ten hours at a time.

But this European Tour event, won by names including Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, will be voiced by the popular American.

Spiranac said she was "proud" to get the gig and added: "Come and say hi to me and see the world's best players in action."

The Dubai Desert Classic takes place at the Emirates Golf Club on January 25-28.

Sergio Garcia claimed the title last year before going on to break his Major duck at the Masters - and he has confirmed his place in the field for next season.

But the 2017 version of the event - one of the biggest on Tour - was also notable for being the last time Tiger Woods was seen in action.

The 14-time Major champion was forced to withdraw with back issues and is yet to make his return to the competitive game.

The Dubai Desert Classic is typically used as the final event in the desert swing, preceded by events in Abu Dhabi and Qatar.

Spiranac played in the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters back in 2015 but missed the cut after rounds of 77 and 79.
