Adam Scott has finished in an impressive share of 3rd place at the season-ending event on the DP World Tour, the DP World Tour Championship.
Scott adds another €525,000 to his already significant earnings for the season and while without a victory in 2024 he has shown with four top 5 finishes worldwide, that, at the age of 44, he remains competitive at the highest level.
Scott’s final round of 68 was one of the best of the day and saw him jump 6 positions from his overnight 9th place, a two-putt birdie from 15 feet at the last completing a bogey-free round.
Scott will finish the season in 8th position in the Race to Dubai rankings, an improvement of 8 places from his place heading into the event and will finish his competitive year in around 20th position in the world ranking and as the leading Australian.
Scott has made the decision to not compete in Australia’s two flagship events over the next two weeks, the Australian PGA and Open Championships, and instead take a well-deserved break.
Min Woo Lee was the only other Australian to make it into the field in Dubai and finished in a share of 24th place and earned €74,000.
Min Woo Lee now boards a plane to Brisbane where he will be one of the start attractions at this coming week’s PGA Championship where he will defend the title he won so impressively twelve months ago and where the new DP World Tour season begins.
The winner however was the brilliant Rory McIlroy who after a mid-round struggle with Denmark’s Rasmus Hojgaard drew clear with two late birdies to win by two over Hojgaard with another three shots back to Scott, Antoine Rozner and Shane Lowry.
For McIlroy, it completes a season in which he has won on three occasions and been runner-up on four more. He easily claims the Race to Dubai honours over Hojgaard.
