Depending on your point of view, there is a controversial twist when the DP World Tour season draws to a close. 

We are, of course, referring to the fact that as many as 10 golfers will earn PGA Tour cards for the following campaign. 

The '10 cards' initiative was established before the 2023 season thanks to the 'strategic alliance' between the North American circuit and Wentworth HQ. 

Critics argue this makes zero sense from a commercial perspective as the European-based circuit is willingly giving away talent. 

Others, such as former DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley, have claimed the initiative merely formalised a pathway that always existed. 

Whatever your thoughts, it's clear that some Tour pros in contention for a golden ticket will start to feel the pressure over the next few weeks. 

The 2025 DP World Tour season concludes on 16 November at the $10m season finale. 

Reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy will head to the Middle East hoping to break Seve Ballesteros' record of six Race to Dubai titles. 

England's Marco Penge is currently McIlroy's closest challenger in the Race to Dubai Rankings. 

Crucially, Penge, 27 is closing in on his first PGA Tour card. Former LIV Golf recruit Laurie Canter is also in the mix.

GolfMagic has listed the players in contention below.
