As the DP World Tour advances the Race to Dubai rankings have also experienced significant movements. The latest to clinch victory in the series was Rory McIlroy, who emerges as the current leader in the standings. This season has seen a total of three American golfers making their way into the top 100 of the Race to Dubai rankings.

Top American Contenders in the Race to Dubai


The American presence on the DP World Tour is undeniable, with golfers like Jordan Gumberg (19th), Johannes Veerman (22nd), and Sean Crocker (84th) fighting for supremacy. These top US players participated in 7 to 9 events this season, with Gumberg proudly owning a victory to his name.

Dominance at the Top of the Race to Dubai


The fierce competition at the top of the Race to Dubai is led by none other than Rory McIlroy, whose stellar performances throughout the season place him in the pole position. Accompanying him in the top echelons are Rikuya Hoshino, Jesper Svensson, Adrian Meronk, and Joaquin Niemann, each with impressive point tallies and respective victories in the season’s events.

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.
