DP World Tour Season Finale: Matt Wallace Loses his Nerve

Matt Wallace did not show his best side at the DP World Tour Championship at the weekend, where he finished tied 11th. Anyone who has ever swung a club has probably experienced for themselves that golf can sometimes drive you mad. Nevertheless, there are rules of conduct on the golf course and, especially among professionals who are considered role models, freak-outs are not welcome. Tyrrell Hatton, who is known for his emotions on the course, also allowed himself to overreact.

Matt Wallace takes his anger out on the fairway

Matt Wallace’s round was apparently satisfactory. Although he started with two bogeys on holes 1 and 3, he then improved significantly. With a series of birdies on holes 8 to 11, he made up a few places on the leaderboard, on which he was already among the leaders.

His emotional outburst then followed on the par-5 14th. His tee shot landed in the thick rough, leaving him a few meters behind with his second shot. He then sank his third shot in the greenside bunker, which was the last straw. Wallace rammed his club into the fairway, leaving clearly visible damage. Neither he nor his caddie bothered to repair the damage. In the end, he recorded a bogey on 14.

After the tournament, Wallace summed up his tournament on Twitter. There was no comment on his slip-up.

Tyrrell Hatton divides clubs

Tyrrell Hatton, who finished sixth in Dubai, also allowed himself a slip-up. It was not the course that fell victim to this, but his club, which he unceremoniously broke after a failed shot. The commentator described such behavior as a “terrible influence on the next generation”.

Bryson DeChambeau lives up to his new reputation as a model social media personality and is always coming up with new games and jokes. For example, he has eggs thrown at him – what you don’t do to generate attention.

Or he takes on the self-imposed challenge of making a hole-in-one – by hitting a blind shot over his own house in Dallas onto a green in his garden. The additional difficulty: the two-time US Open champion only allows himself as many attempts as the number of days he spends on the bet – so one shot on the first day, two on the second and so on. Of course, DeChambeau updates his fan community each time via TikTok to keep his followers happy:

Hot Stuff: What a fuss there was about tickets for next year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. ‘Scandal, profiteering, we’re being ripped off’, was the cry in view of the 750 dollars excluding fees etc. for a day ticket to the continental competition on a public golf course, for which the green fee is 75 dollars. But what can we say: the event was sold out within a few hours.

According to the organising PGA of America, the tickets were sent to 47 countries, including 2,500 tickets to Europe. In addition to the 750 dollars per day, there were also 200 dollars in fees and 60 dollars for a parking ticket. Those who arrived too late can at best hope to be successful with SeatGeek, the PGA of America’s partner for the resale of tickets.

Victory in the Race to Dubai was safe for Rory McIlroy, but the outcome of the DP World Tour Championship remained exciting right down to the last few holes. With two late birdies, McIlroy prevailed over Rasmus Hojgaard and his Callaway bag to win the DP World Tour season finale and the season ranking for the third time in his career. A look inside the Northern Irishman’s golf bag reveals that he remains loyal to his sponsor TaylorMade.

Nelly Korda has once again prevailed and claimed her seventh victory shortly before the end of the season. her sixth win of the season. At the beginning of the year, she won six titles in seven starts on the LPGA Tour, including a major victory at the 2024 Chevron Championship. A look inside the American’s golf bag shows a set of TaylorMade clubs.

Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 Max (10.5°)

Nelly Korda on why she plays the Qi10 Max Driver: “The reason why I picked the Qi10 Max driver is the look of it compared to the other models. When I put it down and look at it I feel like I can hit any shot I want with the subtle blue face and silver topline. When I look down at it I feel like I can aim it really well and I know where the center of the clubface too. For a golfer, if you don’t like the look of the club, you’re never going to be able to it hit. Once I put the Qi10 Max down and teed it up, I feel like I could hit any shot I wanted to.”

Ball: TaylorMade TP5x

“Nelly was looking to bring the spin down, especially on her driver, so we did some testing in September,” said TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager Ressa. “We saw the benefits of TP5x in her driver and irons bringing the spin down a couple hundred RPMs. Then, around the greens, her launch on chips was a little bit lower and she generated more spin around the greens with TP5x than TP5. She produced a lot more check in a preferred trajectory coming off of the TP5x versus the TP5. She’s been happy with the ball ever since.”

Rory McIlroy “would pay for the privilege to play on the Ryder Cup”

While the US players are to receive 400,000 US dollars for their participation in the Ryder Cup from next year, Rory McIlroy and his teammates Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton firmly reject any financial reward. For them, the Ryder Cup is not just a tournament, but a symbol of pride, passion and team spirit. The biennial tournament, which has so far been held without payment for the players, is now to receive a financial component on the American side for the first time from 2025.

Rory McIlroy: Ryder Cup “a privilege”

Rory McIlroy made it unmistakably clear that the competition and the honor are his priority, not the money. “I personally would pay for the privilege to play on the Ryder Cup,” said McIlroy in an interview with the BBC at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. For him, the Ryder Cup represents one of the purest forms of golf. “The two purest forms of competition in our game right now are the Ryder Cup and the Olympics, and it’s partly because of that, the purity of no money being involved.” McIlroy sees the Ryder Cup as more than just a golf competition: “But the Ryder Cup is so much more than that, especially to the Europeans and to this tour.”

McIlroy also argues: “The common consensus among us is that $5m would be better off spent elsewhere on the DP World Tour to support other events or even to support The Challenge Tour.” This illustrates that the DP World Tour is much more reliant on the money raised from the Ryder Cup.

Rory McIlroy showed understanding for the Americans’ decision, but warned of the potential impact of payment on the competition. “I can see the other side of the argument because the Ryder Cup does create a lot of revenue.“ said McIlroy. Nevertheless, he emphasized that money would significantly change the dynamics of the event. “ “I think we would all welcome money if it didn’t change the dynamic but the money really would change the dynamic,” explained the Northern Irishman.

Ryder Cup a privilege for European players

Other European players such as Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton echoed this sentiment. Tyrrell Hatton emphasized: “I’ve never thought about being paid to play in the Ryder Cup. It’s such an honour to be a part of that 12 that play.”

Lowry made it clear that the DP World Tour has no plans to pay its players and he doesn’t believe it makes a difference if one side is remunerated. For the former Open champion, the Ryder Cup is motivation enough anyway. Lowry already feels rewarded by the experience and the opportunities it brings. The prospect of being on the team again spurs him on: “Like I’d give anything to know I’m on the team next year. I’m going to spend the next ten months stressing my head off trying to make the team.”
