Dp World Tour Championship Dubai 2015 Leaderboard
A player’s performances, world ranking and position on the Race to Dubai leaderboard are all tied in with how much money they make over the course of a year, and the European Tour offers some incredible prize funds at all of their tournaments to lure the leading golfers.
Rory McIlroy holds the record for the most Race to Dubai prize money won in a single season since the contest was launched in 2009, having earned over €7.1 million in 2014 – the year when he won The Open, US PGA Championship and two other European Tour titles.
2017 Rolex Series
A new series of events was set up for the start of the 2017 Race to Dubai, in association with the European Tour’s long-standing partner Rolex. The Rolex Series will feature seven tournaments with prize funds of at least $7 million.
As well as the crucial Turkish Airlines and Nedbank Challenge events which lead up to the end of the year, the other featured tournaments in the Rolex Series will be the BMW PGA Championship, the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open and the Italian Open. The series will conclude with the DP World Tour Championship, when a prize pot of $8 million will be on offer.
Race to Dubai Bonus Pool
A bonus pool of $5 million is also split between the top ten players in the Race to Dubai standings at the end of the World Tour Championship, although this is not counted as official European Tour money and is not added to the final rankings.

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.
