Northern Ireland’s golf professional Rory McIlroy, 34, has already been confirmed as the overall winner before the season finale of the DP World Tour. Before the tournament in Dubai, the world number two is more than 2,000 points ahead of second-placed Jon Rahm from Spain. Since the winner of the DP World Tour Championship next Sunday only gets 2000 points, McIlroy can no longer be pushed out of the top position.
The Pole Adrian Meronk, third in the rankings at the weekend with 15th place at the tournament in South Africa, did not collect enough points to be able to catch up with McIlroy in Dubai. Rahm hadn’t played. Yannik Paul from Mannheim and Marcel Siem from Ratingen will also be competing in the season finale for the best 50 golfers, which is worth ten million US dollars.
