The DP World Tour reaches its money-spinning finale in Dubai when the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course hosts the DP World Tour Championship from November 14-17.
A field made up of the top 50 available players in the Race to Dubai rankings will contest a huge prize pot, along with opportunities to accrue bonus money related to their season-long performances.
There is no cut – meaning the entire field will battle for glory and riches over 72 holes.
Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard won the event last year but is not in the field this time around.
Race to Dubai leader Rory McIlroy will be looking to close out the season in style, but to what tune might the Northern Irishman and his counterparts bolster their bank accounts? The Sporting News explains here.
DP World Tour Championship prize money
Like Hojgaard 12 months ago, the winner in Dubai this weekend will pocket a cool $3million.
The runner-up will take home $1.27m with $820,000 going to the golfer who finishes third.
That amounts to a shade more than half of the overall $10m prize pot.
By point of comparison, that’s $3m more than the money on offer at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship FedEx Cup event this week – the penultimate stop on the PGA Tour calendar.

Race to Dubai prize money
The riches up for grabs in Dubai do not stop with placings for this week.
Bonus payments will go to the top 10 played golfers in the final Race to Dubai standings, The winner will get $2m, with $1m for the runner-up and $750,000 for third.
Rory McIlroy is the heavy favourite to finish top of the standings. South Africa’s world No. 47 Thriston Lawrence is the only player in with a chance of catching McIlroy.
Along with the prize money, the top 10 players in the Race to Dubai final ranking will be awarded a PGA Tour card unless they are otherwise exempt.
