We’re at the end of another DP World Tour season, which means another visit to the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
Rory McIlroy is on course to win a fourth consecutive Race to Dubai title if he can finish the job, but the 50-man field is a who’s who of European golf right now, making for an action-packed event where big names compete.
The man who will be competing closely to try and stop the Northern Irishman this year is Englishman Marco Penge, who has won three times in 2025. He has had a remarkable season, and even more so when you consider he narrowly kept his DP World Tour card in the very last regular season event of 2024.
Let’s take a look at the DP World Tour Championship and give you a full summary of the proceedings.

HERE IS WHAT THE BOOKIES THINK
Rory McIlroy – 10/3 – Betway
Sorry for the boring selection, but this isn’t the worst price I’ve seen when it comes to golf betting this season, and that is largely down to the brilliance of Scottie Scheffler in 2025. McIlroy has won this event three times, most recently last year when he beat Rasmus Hojgaard by two shots.
It is no secret that McIlroy is a master of desert golf. He has won the Dubai Desert Classic four times. He can bomb it around these courses, and they speak to his prodigious iron and wedge play, especially at the end of a season in which he has won the Masters, the Players, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Irish Open. Like I say, I think 10/3 is a genuinely reasonable price.
