Race to Dubai Final - Review

The DP World Tour Championship in Dubai not only signalled the end of the European Tour season, but was also the final event of this year’s Race to Dubai. For those of you unaware, the Race to Dubai is the European Tour’s order of merit which rewards the most consistently good golfers throughout that season.

Heading into the event there were only two possible winners: Masters champion Danny Willett and Open Champion Henrik Stenson. Willett had held top spot in the Race to Dubai for much of 2016 following his Green Jacket back in April, but the inspiring form of Stenson – including his first Major title and a silver medal at the Olympics – saw the Swede leapfrog Willett with just a few events left to play.

The Englishman needed a good week – a top-five finish to be exact – to have any chance of ending 2016 top of the tree, but a disappointing week saw him finish runner-up for the second year running. On the other hand, a top 10 finish for the ice-cool Swede cemented his place as Europe’s most consistent golfer for the second time, having won the Race to Dubai once before in 2013.

A little mention must go to Alex Noren who had a breakthrough year to finish in the rankings. Noren was ranked at 653rd in the world just two years ago but four wins in 2016 has seen him gate-crash the world’s top 10.

There’s something all three of the above have in common – they’re Callaway Golf players. Coincidence? Probably not.
