Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy head into the DP World Tour Championship

The DP World Tour's season-ending DP World Tour Championship starts Thursday, November 12, on the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. Patrick Reed, who did not renew his LIV Golf contract in January, is third in the Race to Dubai and has already secured a PGA Tour card for 2027. Eugenio Chacarra leads, and second-place Rory McIlroy is seeking an eighth Race to Dubai title, which would tie Colin Montgomerie's record. At his pre-tournament press conference, Reed said: "I don't really get any satisfaction from making a decision and watching the other guys have to sit out a year."
