Race to Dubai Final Week: McIlroy and Chacarra Stand Out
Nine players can still win the Race to Dubai season ranking at the DP World Tour Championship. Eugenio Chacarra enters the tournament as the leader, and there are several scenarios in which Rory McIlroy finishes first.
The DP World Tour's season finale, the Championship, will be played this week at the Jumeirah Golf Estates course in Dubai. Nine players still have a chance to win the Race to Dubai title. The top 50 eligible players in the ranking can take part.
Leader Eugenio Chacarra would become the third Spaniard to win the Order of Merit if he wins. Jon Rahm also won the Abu Dhabi Championship, his sixth Rolex Series victory, and is once again a serious contender. Rory McIlroy will chase an eighth Race to Dubai title, which would equal the record.
McIlroy is 533.93 points behind Chacarra. Only Chacarra and McIlroy can fully control their own fate. If McIlroy wins the tournament, he will reach 5,709.86 points and secure the title regardless of other results. A solo second-place finish will be enough if neither Chacarra nor Patrick Reed wins.
Chacarra's lead has shrunk because he finished 22nd in each of his last two tournaments. The winner of the Dubai event will receive 2,000 points.
