After a spectacular final round of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai on Sunday, 10 DP World Tour stars punched their tickets to play on the PGA Tour next season.
The DP World Tour season ended in style on Sunday with Rory McIlroy’s Tour Championship victory and his sixth Race to Dubai title, but it was an equally memorable day for 10 other players from the Middle East.
Ten PGA Tour cards were up for grabs on the Earth Course, awarded to the top 10 Race to Dubai finishers who have yet to claim their golden ticket to play on the lucrative circuit on the other side of the Atlantic. Rasmus Hoygaard
The Dane has gone from agony to relief in 12 months. Last season he only missed out on the map by one place while his twin brother Nikolai won the Tour championship and booked a flight to the United States.
But Rasmus, 23, has responded in style in 2024, winning the Irish Open and showing supreme consistency to secure his PGA Tour card. He pushed McIlroy hard on a tense final day of the Tour Championship, and a second-place finish was good enough to secure the same spot in the Race To Dubai standings.
