Dp World Tour Championship Leaderboard 2015
19 - 22 Nov 2015. DP World Tour Championship, Dubai. Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai, UAE. Leaderboard-15 Rahm, Lorenzo-Vera-13 McIlroy-11 Fleetwood-10 Pieters. Day three report. All week at the DP World Tour Championship, Mike Lorenzo-Vera has simultaneously held the rare position of.
Rory McIlroy‘s new trophy cabinet could soon need expanding after arguably his best shot of a stellar season capped a superb opening round in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
“You dream of making birdies on 18 to win a tournament,” said Rahm, who became the first player, since Rory McIlroy in 2015, to win both the DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai in the. Jon Rahm was crowned European Number One with a dramatic victory at the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai as the 2019 Race to Dubai went down to the final ho.
Jon Rahm pocketed a mammoth US$5 million in prize money after winning both the DP World Tour Championship and the European Tour’s Race to Dubai on an action-packed final day at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The Spaniard, who has now won four Rolex Series events, started the day tied at the top of the leaderboard with Mike Lorenzo-Vera but quickly pulled away with five birdies over his opening seven holes to open up a commanding lead over the Earth course. But the 25 year old gave two shots back on the eighth and ninth to give the chasing pack some hope before Tommy Fleetwood carded five birdies in his closing seven holes to set the clubhouse target at 18 under par.
Rahm was tied with Fleetwood heading up the last and it looked as though a play-off was on the cards for just the second time in tournament history before a brilliant up and down from the bunker saw him secure a one-stroke triumph for his second DP World Tour Championship title having first won the event in 2017.

“You dream of making birdies on 18 to win a tournament,” said Rahm, who became the first player, since Rory McIlroy in 2015, to win both the DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai in the same season.
“I wasn’t expecting to need that after playing so well early in the round but it happened and I came through when I needed it and I’m really proud of myself for that. I’ve thought about winning the Race to Dubai all week. I’ve thought about it the last two hours. I thought about it as soon as I made the putt. But it still hasn’t processed in my mind.
“It’s really so hard to believe that some of the greatest champions in European golf and Spanish golf haven’t been able to accomplish what I have in just three years. That’s what I can’t really get my head around.
“So many great players throughout the history of Spain have had a chance to be crowned European Tour Number One but didn’t get it done. It’s just hard to put that in perspective to know that since Seve (Ballesteros), I’m the next one to get it done. It just doesn’t feel like it’s true. It’s hard to believe.”

Fleetwood’s emphatic final round 65 saw him finish runner-up which also took him up to second in the Race to Dubai Rankings on 5414.8 points for the season.
“I feel fine, I couldn’t have done much more, really,” said the Englishman, who has won over US$4.5 million in the last two weeks after winning US$2.5 million at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, $803,418 at the DP World Tour Championship and a healthy US$1.2 million for finishing second in the Race to Dubai.
“Some of the shots the leading pair were making down the stretch, it started to look like I might get back in it or have a chance. I’m proud of the way I played the last few holes and the end of the season. These last two weeks make the season just seem in a different light than it did a few weeks before. Fair play to Jon. He carded a cracking birdie down the last when he needed it.”

The DP World Tour Championship, Dubai is a golf tournament on the European Tour and is the climax of the European Tour Race to Dubai. It is contested on the Earth course at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The title sponsor is DP World, a shipping company based in Dubai.[1]
The tournament was first held in 2009 when the Order of Merit was replaced by the Race to Dubai. It is contested by the leading 60 players in the Race to Dubai at the start of the tournament. It is the replacement for the Volvo Masters, which was a similar event for the leading 60 money winners on the Order of Merit.
Originally the tournament was to have a record prize fund of $10,000,000, of which the winner's share would be $1,666,660,[2][3] however in September 2009 it was announced that there would be a 25% reduction in both the overall prize fund and the winners cheque.[4] The prize fund was increased to $8,000,000 in 2012.[5]
The tournament also determines the Race to Dubai Bonus Pool, which goes to the top golfers on the Race to Dubai after the tournament. It was original set at $10,000,000 but reduced to $7,500,000 paid to the top 15 players with the Race to Dubai winner getting $1.5 million.[2][4] In 2012 the bonus pool was cut in half to $3.75 million and reduced to the top 10 golfers, with the winner getting $1.0 million.[5]
The 2013 DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates delivered a US$44 million gross economic benefit to Dubai, according to independent research commissioned by tournament organisers, The European Tour as stated in Vision magazine.[6]
Final Series and Rolex Series[edit]
In 2013 the European Tour introduced the Final Series, a four tournament end of season series of tournaments consisting of the Turkish Airlines Open, WGC-HSBC Champions, BMW Masters, and culminating in the DP World Tour Championship. In 2016 the series was reduced to three tournaments with the removal of the WGC-HSBC Champions and BMW Masters, and the addition of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
In 2017 the Rolex Series was launched, which is a series of tournaments with higher prize funds than regular tour events and includes the three Final Series tournaments.
