Rory McIlroy Clinches Race to Dubai, Securing Fifth European No. 1 Title

McIlroy Achieves Feat Without Playing in Nedbank Challenge, Sets Sights on Montgomerie's Record

Rory McIlroy has clinched the Race to Dubai, securing his position as Europe's No. 1 golfer for the fifth time.
McIlroy achieved this feat without even playing in the Nedbank Golf Challenge, as none of his closest competitors could catch up to him.
He now has 5,164.5 points going into the DP World Tour Championship at Dubai this week.
McIlroy is 2,083 points ahead of second-place Jon Rahm, the Masters champion.
McIlroy's next goal is to chase down Colin Montgomerie's record of being Europe’s No. 1 a record eight times.
