Eugenio Chacarra, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed. That\u2019s where the Race to Dubai list starts. McIlroy jumped Reed via a third-place finish Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, but still, these three remain with the best odds of taking home the season-long title when the DP World Tour Championship starts this week at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.<\/p>\n
There can be two winners this week\u2014a tournament winner and a season-long winner. They often are the same, but they certainly can be different.<\/p>\n
Chacarra, a 26-year-old from Spain, is on top thanks to three victories this season, two in June and one in October. Reed won twice early in the season, in back-to-back weeks in late January and early February, but has not won since. He tied for 43rd in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. Chacarra tied for 22nd place.<\/p>\n
The biggest movers were Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Francesco Laporta. Rahm cruised to a two-shot victory over Hatton in the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship and moved up 45 postions and into sixth place in the standings. Hatton moved up 43 spots to 12th place. Italy\u2019s Laporta was tied for the lead with Rahm late Sunday but made a triple-bogey on the 14th hole. He finished in fourth place and moved up 32 spots to 25th place.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually gives me a little extra incentive next week,\u201d Rahm said. \u201cI really didn\u2019t think I was going to have a chance. Those are better odds than I expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is a $10 million purse on the line with $3 million going to the winner of the tournament. The winner of the Race to Dubai season title will earn a multi-million-dollar bonus from a $6 million purse, which is typically $2 million. McIlroy is looking to win his eighth Race to Dubai title, which would tie Colin Montomgerie, who won what was then called the Order of Merit.<\/p>\n
