The talk around last year's champion, Jon Rahm

The winner of the 14th DP World Tour Championship in 2022 was the Spaniard Jon Rahm, who displayed outstanding skill and tenacity to win the title. Rahm now has three victories in the elite competition. The bearded golfer displayed his skill on the course by finishing with a score of 268, which was a remarkable 20 strokes under par.

Rahm's performance gave him a well-earned two-stroke advantage over his nearest rivals, Tyrrell Hatton of England and Alex Norén of Sweden. The $10,000,000 prize pool for the competition provided a considerable incentive for the competitors. Rahm's outstanding accomplishment solidified his position as one of the top golfers on the European Tour and won him a share of $3,000,000.
