12 years ago by Comments Off on Race To Dubai – Any One Of Nine Players Could Claim Victory.

While there is four players mainly in contention for the Race to Dubai No. 1 crown mathematically anyone of nine players could still break the victory tape first.

Sweden’s Henrik Stenson is in the driving seat as he enters the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai with 2,379,194 points to his name.

But with 985476 points available to the winner from the $8 million prize fund, all players down to last week’s Turkish Airlines Open Champion Victor Dubuisson can still catch the Swede.

Last place points = 19,512

So Stenson will finish season with at least 2,398,706 Points. That is the minimum target for the chasing pack.
