DP World Tour Championship 2024 LIVE: Tee times, field, leaderboard and how to follow as Rory McIlroy looks to equal all-time great
Rory McIlroy will be looking to clinch his sixth Race to the Dubai title at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship this weekend. McIlroy finished tied-third at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last weekend, one spot below what he needed to claim the Race to Dubai crown and equal Seve Ballesteros‘ tally. McIlroy is seeking to win this season-long event for the second year in a rowGetty The Northern Irishman still leads his nearest challenger, Thriston Lawrence, by 1785.1 points. South African Lawrence is the only player in the standings less than 2,000 points behind McIlroy. Thus the 27-year-old is the last remaining rival who has any hope of pipping him to the title at the season-ending event at Jumeirah Golf Estates this week. Lawrence must win the DP World Tour Championship and hope McIlroy finishes 12th or worse to claim the Race to the Dubai title. But as things stand, McIlroy sits well clear of Lawrence as he looks like a strong contender to win the tournament in Dubai.
