Robert MacIntyre confirmed himself this Sunday, November 19, as one of the European players to watch in the golf world currently by finishing T18 at the 2023 DP World Tour Championship. The result also gave MacIntyre one of the biggest boosts he has received in his professional career.
The Scot earned his card as a full member of the PGA Tour through the 2024 season. After his excellent year on the DP World Tour in 2023, Robert MacIntyre is one of 10 European Tour players who will be playing in America next season.
MacIntyre finished 13th in the final DP World Tour 2023 ranking and seventh among those who were not yet members of the PGA Tour. In addition, he retains his membership of the main European Tour, so he will have the opportunity to continue playing on both sides of the Atlantic.
