The last event of the season on the DP World Tour featured 52 players, not the customary 50. The field is made up of the top 50 on the Race to Dubai season list, plus Ludvig Aberg and Shane Lowry as members of the Ryder Cup team.
Rory McIlroy, Marco Penge and Tyrrell Hatton top that season list respectively. World No. 2 McIlroy is looking to top off a season where he won three PGA Tour events including the Players and the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam. Oh, and he also was on the victorious European Ryder Cup team that defeated the U.S. at Bethpage Black.
Penge, a 27-year-old from England, has won three times this season in the 25 events that he’s played.
Also on the line this week are 10 PGA Tour cards. The top 10 players in the final standings who do not otherwise have PGA Tour status will earn exempt status for 2026 in the United States.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week in Dubai.
