The DP World Tour wraps up its 2026 season in Dubai this week, with Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Tommy Fleetwood headlining a star-studded field for the 2026 DP World Tour Championship.

The season finale will take place November 12-15 at the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A field of 50 golfers will compete for a $10 million purse, including $3 million to the winner. The tournament will also determine the season-long Race to Dubai champion.

Rahm Returns in Style

Last week featured a triumphant return for Rahm, who won the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship in his first tournament since announcing his departure from LIV Golf. The Spaniard finished at 23-under to secure a two-shot victory over Tyrrell Hatton (-21), with McIlroy (-19) taking third.

It marked Rahm’s first DP World Tour victory since winning this very tournament in 2022, as well as his record sixth Rolex Series title. The two-time major champion is still exploring a potential return to the PGA Tour, although no agreement has been announced. In the meantime, he’s expected to continue competing on the DP World Tour.

Rahm has already won the DP World Tour Championship three times (2017, 2019 and 2022), and another victory would make him the first four-time champion in tournament history. He enters the week at +600 at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook to make it two consecutive wins.

McIlroy the Favorite as Race to Dubai Wraps Up

McIlroy, meanwhile, is the betting favorite at +350. McIlroy finished four strokes behind Rahm last weekend and has an equally impressive history at Jumeirah Golf Estates. He’s also won this event three times, most recently in 2024, and finished runner-up to Matt Fitzpatrick in a playoff last year.

Tommy Fleetwood (+1000) rounds out the top three in the betting market. The Englishman finished T3 here last year and has twice been runner-up at the Earth Course. Fleetwood is coming off a T14 in Abu Dhabi and remains in search of his first win at this event.

The next group of contenders features Adam Scott (+1600), Tyrrell Hatton (+1750) and Eugenio Chacarra (+1750).

Scott arrives following a T9 finish in Abu Dhabi, while Hatton nearly claimed last week’s title before settling for second place. Hatton has also finished runner-up at this tournament on multiple occasions, including in 2016 and 2022.

Chacarra has perhaps the most at stake this weekend. The Spaniard leads the Race to Dubai standings following a three-win season and holds an advantage of nearly 534 points over McIlroy. He finished T22 in Abu Dhabi but remains in position to capture the season-long championship with another victory.

Other Notable Contenders

Further down the board, Matt Wallace and Daniel Hillier are both listed at +2250, followed by Aaron Rai and Kristoffer Reitan at +2500.

Wallace has twice finished runner-up at the DP World Tour Championship, while Hillier is coming off a T16 in Abu Dhabi. Rai is another big name in the field following a breakthrough season that included his first major championship victory.

A few other names worth monitoring at +3000 include Patrick Reed, Ryan Fox and Angel Ayora.

Ayora shared fifth place in Abu Dhabi at 16-under, alongside David Puig (+4000) and Bernd Wiesberger (+5000). All three will look to carry that form into the final tournament of the year.
