The DP World Tour Championship is here. The golfers have arrived at the Earth Course, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai for the event set to tee off on Thursday, November 17.
The 14th edition of the prestigious European Tour event will see a 50-player field fight it out for the top prize. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy headlines the field as he looks to keep his rank safe from second-placed Scottie Scheffler for the third week in a row. Having won the FedEx Cup title in August, the Irishman will look to clinch both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour season finales in the same year for the first time.
Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm are two other big names on the field. Coming to the event in major form, they are being picked by the betters. Viktor Hovland and Matt Fitzpatrick will also be players to watch out for at the European tour event. Meanwhile, defending champion Collin Morikawa will stay away from the competition, citing personal commitments.
Ryan Fox, who has had an incredible 2022 season winning the Ras Al Khaimah Classic and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, is another player to keep an eye out for. The 35-year-old New Zealander is a serious threat to McIlroy. He stands a chance to overtake the Irishman as the season points winner if he emerges victorious. McIlroy, who has won the event thrice, will have to up his game to keep the challenger at bay.
The season-ending DP World Tour Championship event has a hefty prize money purse of $10 million. This is an increase from the $9 million purse last year. Notably, the winner of the event will bag a $3 million paycheck along with valuable points.
