The tour has already witnessed a range of tournaments in the current season, with the latest being won by Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy who, with masterful play, clinched victory and secured the top spot in the prestigious Race to Dubai rankings. With the Masters Tournament 2024 being co-sanctioned by the DP World and PGA Tour, players earn points for both rankings.

How the DP World Tour Race to Dubai works

The Race to Dubai is the season ranking of the DP World Tour (former European Tour). The top 60 players in the Race to Dubai ranking are allowed to take part in the final play-off tournament of the former European Tour at the end of the season. The season ranking also determines who is allowed to play on the DP World Tour the following year. At each tournament, the players who make the cut collect points. The total number of points awarded at a tournament depends on the value of the event. Major tournaments earn the most points. For winning a DP World Tour tournament, the winner receives at least 460 points and a good 300,000 euros.

Shane Lowry ahead of DP World Tour Appearance: “I’ve Got a Lot of Confidence”

Shane Lowry is aiming to continue his good run of form as he makes his final appearance before the first Major Championship of the year at this week’s Porsche Singapore Classic.

Laguna National Golf Resort Club plays host to the opening event on the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing and the Irishman will tee it up in Singapore for the first time in 12 years as he makes his season bow on the 2024 Race to Dubai.

The 2019 Open Champion and Ryder Cup star arrives in Singapore in a strong vein of form, with last week’s tie for 19th at THE PLAYERS Championship following back-to-back top five finishes and he is now targeting another strong result ahead of next month’s Masters Tournament, the first Major of the year.

Shane Lowry Ahead of DP World Tour Start in Singapore

“I played well the last few weeks, I’ve got a few nice results under my belt, so I’m pretty happy with how things have been going this season so far. I’ve come out pretty good and yeah looking forward to the next few weeks.”

“I think it’s such a long time difference that it doesn’t really matter these days — no problems sleeping last night and might head out today and get some work done and get to know the course a little bit. And hopefully I can get out tomorrow then hopefully I get a good night’s sleep tonight and get out there tomorrow and go after it.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence and feel great about my game coming off the last few weeks so it’ll be nice to continue that on. And then I’ve got a two week break leading into Augusta so you never want to go into a Major off the back of a bad result so there’s a little bit of pressure on me to try and play well this week. But I’ve always got high expectations of myself and I’m hoping to come here and give myself a good chance come Sunday afternoon and hopefully do the business.”

About the Porsche Singapore Classic

Porsche is continuing its long-standing relationship with the DP World Tour by extending its global golf involvement with a new multi-year deal to become Title Partner of the Porsche Singapore Classic, announced earlier this year.

The Porsche Singapore Classic is the first of five events on the Asian Swing, with visits to India, South Korea, Japan and China on the schedule in weeks to come.

Galvin Green names tour player line-up for 2024 season

Hi-tech golf apparel brand Galvin Green has named its global Tour player line-up headlined by Swedish star Alexander Björk on the PGA Tour and Englishman Jordan Smith leading the brand’s presence on the DP World Tour.

Alexander Björk and Jordan Smith set to represent Galvin Green

Having achieved an impressive stroke average of 69.59 across the DP World Tour calendar in 2023, Björk is set to play most of his golf on the flagship US Tour following a career best season that saw him finish 11 th in the Race to Dubai rankings to earn a sought-after PGA TOUR card.

Hot off the back of a T2 finish at the Jonnson Workwear Open in South Africa, Jordan Smith will be seen wearing Galvin Green garments for another year after a strong showing on the DP World Tour in 2023, where he achieved four top 10s, plus a T20 and T41 finish at the 123rd US Open and 151 st Open Championship respectively.

“We’re so pleased that Alexander earned his PGA Tour card which was fully deserved after a superb season of consistent golf,” said Conor Petters, Galvin Green Global Tour Manager. “It was also great to see Jordan come some close on Sunday after being in contention so often during the course of last year,” he added.

Björk and Smith are joined by five other Tour players

Five other tour players will wear Galvin Green apparel in the 2024 season. They include fellow Englishman Laurie Canter wearing the brand’s clothing during tournaments on LIV Golf as a wildcard player and the DP World Tour. Former Walker Cup star Jake Bolton is one of the newest recruits to wear the latest men’s range featuring products such as the 100% waterproof and windproof ARMSTRONG GORE-TEX Paclite® jacket in a three tone design, plus the breathable MO shirt in moisture wicking VENTIL8™ PLUS fabric with a cross-body gradient print across the chest.

Alexandra Swayne, 23, will wear the brand’s vibrant women’s styles for a second successive season having made her Ladies European Tour debut last year, while 29-year-old Danish Nanna Koerstz Madsen joins the line-up alongside Corinne Viden on the LET circuit.

“We are delighted to continue supporting our new and established Tour players and believe each member of Team Galvin Green will prove to be valuable brand ambassadors in front of global audiences in 2024,” added Petters.
