The DP World Tour Championship’s 15th edition is taking place at the Earth Course of Jumeirah Golf Estates, marking the end of the season-long Race to Dubai. The championship culminates a year-long battle among the best golfers in the world, with the winner crowned the season’s champion. This year, the winner of the Race to Dubai has already been confirmed - Rory McIlroy secured the Harry Vardon trophy a week before the championship.

McIlroy had a highly successful season on the Tour, including victories in the Dubai Desert Classic and Genesis Scottish Open. He has been a dominant force on the Tour for years, and his latest win is his fifth overall, making him one of the most successful players in the Tour’s history. He also holds the record for the highest career earnings in the DP World Tour, with €50,582,631.19 in prize money.

The DP World Tour Championship is one of the richest golf tournaments in the world, with a prize purse of $10.5 million. The championship winner will receive $3 million, while the runner-up will receive $1.5 million. Additionally, the winner of the Race to Dubai will receive a bonus of $2 million from the Race to Dubai bonus pool of $5 million.

Although the prize money for McIlroy’s fifth win is yet to be confirmed, the previous four winners received approximately $2m from the Race to Dubai bonus pool.
