The DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai will bring the Race to Dubai season to a close this week, with the event being shown live on Sky Sports. Nine players remain mathematically capable of finishing the season atop the long‑running standings.

The Race to Dubai is the European Tour’s season‑long points competition, in which players accumulate earnings and points across all sanctioned events. The final tournament in Dubai traditionally decides the overall champion and awards a substantial prize fund to the winner of the race.

With only the DP World Tour Championship left to play, each of the nine contenders will need a strong performance to overtake the current leader. The points gap between them is narrow enough that a single low round or a high finish could swing the final rankings.

The Dubai event is the tour’s culminating stop, featuring a demanding course layout and a large field of the season’s top performers. Because it carries the highest points allocation of any tournament, it offers the greatest opportunity for a player to climb the Race to Dubai leaderboard.

Fans will be able to follow the decisive moments in real time as the competitors vie for the coveted No 1 spot, with Sky Sports providing live coverage of what promises to be a tightly contested finish to the season.
