The chase for the coveted Race to Dubai title sees three American golfers positioning themselves in the rankings’ top 70.

His compatriots Johannes Veerman and Sean Crocker follow suit, finding themselves at the 49th and 70th places respectively.
Rory McIlroy still maintains his lead, sitting comfortably at the pole position with a total of 1596 points after his most recent triumph. Followed by Japanese Rikuya Hoshino with 1244 points, Adrian Meronk with just over 1000 points, Joaquin Niemann, and Thriston Lawrence who finished second at the Jonsson Workwear Open.
How the DP World Tour Race to Dubai works
The Race to Dubai is the season ranking of the DP World Tour. The top 60 players in the Race to Dubai ranking are allowed to take part in the final play-off tournament of the former European Tour at the end of the season. The season ranking also determines who is allowed to play on the DP World Tour the following year. At each tournament, the players who make the cut collect points. The total number of points awarded at a tournament depends on the value of the event. Major tournaments earn the most points. For winning a DP World Tour tournament, the winner receives at least 460 points and a good 300,000 euros.
