Fifty of the season's standout golfers from the DP World Tour gather in Dubai at the Jumeirah Golf Estates for the season finale. Who will claim the DP World Tour Championship title come Sunday?

Rory McIlroy is back to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Rasmus Hojgaard in 2024. 

Past and Major winners that will tee off on the Earth Course include Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Reed. 

These are our four selections that could win the season-ending tournament this weekend. 

Ludvig Aberg


Ludvig Aberg has been in solid form on the PGA Tour during the past four months, placing T8 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T23 at the Open Championship, T9 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T7 at the BMW Championship, T21 at the Tour Championship, T20 at the BMW PGA Championship, and T23 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last weekend.  

Other noteworthy results achieved by Aberg this year include a T5 at the Sentry, a victory at the Genesis Invitational, a T22 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a 7th at the Masters, a T16 at the Memorial Tournament, and a T13 at the RBC Canadian Open. 

The Swede makes his debut at the 2025 DP World Tour Championship.

Aberg has been there and thereabouts lately and can lift the winner's trophy in the UAE come Sunday. 

Matt Fitzpatrick


Matt Fitzpatrick has been in excellent form on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour during the latter half of the year, placing T4 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T4 at the Open Championship, T8 at the Wyndham Championship, T32 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T17 at the BMW Championship, T6 at the Betfred British Masters, 5th at the Omega European Masters, T5 at the BMW PGA Championship, T21 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and T32 at the recent Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. 

Other notable performances achieved by Fitzpatrick this season include a T24 at the Sentry, a T22 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a T23 at the Truist Championship, a T8 at the PGA Championship, a T17 at the Travelers Championship, and a T8 at the Rocket Classic. 

The former US Open champion has compiled an impressive record at the DP World Tour Championship, placing T4 in 2015, winning in 2016, 12th in 2017, T34 in 2018, ninth in 2019, winning again in 2020, T2 in 2021, T5 in 2022, and T27 in 2023.

Fitzpatrick has found form in recent months and can secure victory in Dubai this weekend.

Marco Penge


Marco Penge has been in fine fettle on the DP World Tour lately, winning the Danish Golf Championship and placing T6 at the Betfred British Masters, T8 at the Omega European Masters, T50 at the Amgen Irish Open, T13 at the BMW PGA Championship, T91 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, winning the Open de Esana, and T9 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last weekend. 

Penge's other prominent performances this year include a victory at the Hainan Classic in April and finishing T20 at the Magical Kenya Open, 3rd at the South African Open Championship, T19 at the Joburg Open, T25 at the Soudal Open, T21 at the Italian Open, T11 at the BMW International Open, and T2 at the Genesis Scottish Open. 

The Englishman makes his debut at the 2025 DP World Tour Championship.

Penge has been posting strong results lately and can emerge victorious on the Earth Course this weekend. 

Kristoffer Reitan


Kristoffer Reitan has been performing well on the DP World Tour lately, recording a T3 finish at the Nexo Championship, T6 at the Danish Golf Championship, T46 at the Betfred British Masters, missed cut at the Amgen Irish Open, T24 at the BMW PGA Championship, T5 at both the FedEx Open de France and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, before finishing T30 at the Open de España and 22nd at the recent Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

Additional highlights from Reitan's season include a T24 at the Bahrain Championship, a T14 at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, a T2 at the Hainan Classic, a victory at the Soudal Open, a T2 at the Alpine Austrian Open, a T13 at the KLM Open, a T4 at the BMW International Open, and a T13 at the Genesis Scottish Open.

The Norwegian makes his debut at the 2025 DP World Tour Championship.

Reitan can convert his recent performances into a victory at the Jumeirah Golf Estates this weekend.

Fitzpatrick has the form to win the DP World Tour Championship for a third time.
