Four players have won the DP World Tour Championship on more than one occasion. Henrik Stenson became the first man to do it after winning back-to-back in 2013/14 before Rory McIlroy picked up his second title in 2015 after winning his first in 2012. Jon Rahm joined the club with wins in 2017/19 while Matt Fitzpatrick claimed the double with a win last year after triumphing in 2016.
The tournament record score posted by Henrik Stenson in 2013. The Swede’s victory saw him earn his eighth European Tour title and first Race to Dubai crown, and his final approach shot of the final round was so good it was rewarded with a plaque from the very spot he hit the club on the 18th fairway.
The course record on the Earth course, which was set by Justin Rose in 2012. The Englishman’s blistering 10-under par 62 on the final day of the tournament was two strokes better than the previous best.
The number of Race to Dubai points on offer at Jumeirah Golf Estates, which is the highest amount available on the calendar. The Major championships each have 10,000 points up for grabs while the three other Rolex Series events offer 8,000.
The season-ending event has boasted the richest prize in tournament golf since 2019 with the champion receiving a whopping US$3 million, an increase of 125% from the US$1.33 million won by Danny Willett in 2018.
Lee Westwood is the only player to play all 12 editions of the tournament, but looks set to miss out for the first time this year as he currently sits outside the top 100 on the Race to Dubai.
No player from outside Europe has won the fourth and final Rolex Series event of the year. Three Englishman, two Swedes, two Spaniards and one Northern Irishman complete the list of winners.
