DP World Tour Championship 2022: Prize purse, field, venue

We have already had the finale of the PGA Tour and this week, we will see the end of the DP World Tour season at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Last season, Collin Morikawa completed a sensational win at the expense of Rory McIlroy on the Earth Course in 2022 and he became the first American to win the season-ending event.

However, the two-time major champion isn't in the field this week at Jumeirah Golf Estates despite being ranked 35th in the DP World Tour Rankings. The top 53 players are eligible to compete this week.

Top of the rankings is none other than Rory McIlroy. In nine events either sanctioned or co-sanctioned by the former European Tour in 2022, the Northern Irishman has eight top 10s. Unfortunately, they were top 10s without victory.

Ryan Fox from New Zealand has been the standout player on the Tour this year. He won the Ras al Khaimah Classic and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and made six other top-five finishes.

Currently ranked second, he could become the first player from his country to win the final Rolex Series event of the year. Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland make up the rest of the top five.

Fleetwood climbed to fourth in the DP World Tour Rankings after winning the Nedbank Golf Challenge, which was his first win since his victory at the same tournament in 2019.

LIV Golf will also have a small representation in the field this week with the likes of Richard Bland, Adrian Otaegui, Pablo Larrazabal, Oliver Bekker and Sam Horsfield teeing it up.
