The 2023 DP World Tour’s schedule comes to an end this week when the season’s finale, the DP World Tour Championship, is played at the Jumeira Estates in Dubai.
The leading fifty players on this year’s Race to Dubai, following last week’s Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, are eligible to play the event in which three-time winner Jon Rahm will start as the favourite along with two-time champion Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.
Four Australasians have played their way into the field headed by New Zealand’s Ryan Fox followed by Australians Min Woo Lee and Lucas Herbert and New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier.
Fox will play the event for the 4th occasion, Lee and Herbert their third while Hillier is on debut after his great win at the British Masters this year has been the catalyst for his inclusion.
The best any of the Australasians in this week’s field have done in this event was when Lee finished 12th last year.
The winner this week takes home a US$3.3 million first-place cheque in addition to his share of a bonus pool for the final placings in the season-long Race to Dubai.
