The DP World Tour Championship is a significant event for those aiming to be crowned European No.1, with a two-tournament DP World Tour Play-Offs finale leading up to it. Following the Genesis Championship in South Korea, the top 70 in the Race To Dubai standings advance to the Abu Dhabi Championship. The top 50 in the Race To Dubai then qualify for the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai where the European No.1 will be decided.
LIV Golf players, including Ryder Cup hopefuls Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, have made appearances at the DP World Tour. Rahm and Hatton appealed against fines and suspensions for playing in LIV Golf in order to compete on the DP World Tour and ensure eligibility for the upcoming Ryder Cup. Hatton’s victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship catapulted him into the top 20 in the Race To Dubai standings, securing his spot in the playoff events.
Joaquin Niemann and Adrian Meronk are also among the LIV Golf players vying for a spot in the DP World Tour Championship. Both players have managed to maintain their positions in the top 50 Race To Dubai rankings despite playing fewer qualifying tournaments. Niemann’s strong performance in Australia and Mexico has solidified his position in the top 70 for Abu Dhabi, while Meronk’s successes in Dubai have boosted his points tally and placed him comfortably within the top 50 for Dubai.
Rahm, who claimed the $18 million bonus for winning the LIV Golf individual title, has also made a late entry into the DP World Tour. Despite missing some earlier events, Rahm’s strong finish at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has propelled him to 36th in the Race To Dubai rankings, ensuring his eligibility for Abu Dhabi. Rahm will need a solid performance at Yas Links to secure a top 50 spot for Dubai.
