Race to Dubai's Spectacular Finale Awaits: Can McIlroy Seal the Deal?
The anticipation is palpable as we gear up for the 2025 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, the final showdown that will decide the ultimate victor of the Race to Dubai. All eyes are on Rory McIlroy, who currently dominates the leaderboard with a chance to clinch his fourth consecutive Race to Dubai title—making it his seventh career victory.
One Last Play-Off, One Champion to Crown
Spanning various continents and 41 events, this year’s tour has been nothing short of exhilarating. Now, it all boils down to the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 13-16. Only the top 50 players are granted the opportunity to tee off in this prestigious Rolex Series event.
The Prize and The Prestige
Not only is the glory of the Race to Dubai title at stake, but also a lucrative prize fund totaling £7.7m (\(10m). A share of 12,000 Dubai Ranking Points will determine the final standings, with the top 10 players receiving a £4.6m (\)6m) bonus pool. The overall winner stands to gain £1.5m ($2m), alongside the honor of being the DP World Tour champion.
McIlroy: The Golfer to Watch
McIlroy’s phenomenal season features three victories, including a memorable performance at the Masters. With an eagle and eight birdies, his lowest round in the DP World Tour series in Abu Dhabi set him firmly in the lead, expanding the gap over competitors—especially Marco Penge.
Rivals in Pursuit
Chasers like Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre, Aaron Rai, and Tommy Fleetwood are not far behind. Rai’s recent win over Fleetwood has intensified his pursuit of McIlroy. There’s plenty to play for in Dubai, with 2,000 points up for grabs that could alter the leaderboard dramatically.
