DUBAI (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy will happily chance his arm to bag a $2.5 million (1.5 million pounds) prize pot with one swing of his club at this weekend's Dubai Desert Classic, as the twice major winner aims to continue his encouraging form in the Middle East.

Organisers in the Arab city-state, which has a penchant for extravagance such as breaking the world record for the largest fireworks display to mark the start of 2014, are offering the sum for a hole-in-one at the Emirates Golf Club's 17th.
