Overview
- The DP World Tour Championship begins November 13 at Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Earth Course with a no‑cut, 72‑hole format and a $10 million purse.
- Rory McIlroy tops the Race to Dubai and secures the season title with a win or solo second, with only Marco Penge and Tyrrell Hatton still able to overtake him under limited scenarios.
- The top 10 in the final Race to Dubai standings share a $6 million bonus pool and, if eligible, earn 2026 PGA Tour membership.
- The 52‑player field primarily draws from the top 50 in the standings, with exemptions for Ludvig Åberg and Shane Lowry, while Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Sepp Straka are notable absentees.
- The newly announced Rory McIlroy Award will go to the DP World Tour member who earns the most Race to Dubai points across the four majors, with McIlroy excluded from consideration.
