The heat is on! So who’s in the running to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2027 season via the Race to Dubai Ranking? Don’t worry, we’ll keep you up to date…
With the end of the DP World Tour season closing in, the race to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2027 season is hotting up.
As part of the so-called strategic alliance between the two traditional circuits either side of the Atlantic, the top 10 players on the final Race to Dubai Rankings not otherwise exempt can take up PGA Tour membership for the following season should they wish.
It is something that has split opinion since it was introduced. While some see it as further proof that what was formerly the European Tour has become nothing more than a feeder circuit, the DP World Tour insists the reward of playing opportunities in America is an enticing and additive element to what it offers its members.
Whatever side of the fence you sit on, it does add an extra layer of intrigue to the DP World Tour Playoffs in the Middle East.
While the ultimate prize is the Race to Dubai title, the Abu Dhabi Championship and DP World Tour Championship will determine who gets their hands on the 10 PGA Tour cards on offer for next year.
And it could prove incredibly valuable, with the untold riches up for grabs from the 2028 season onwards.
Who will earn a PGA Tour card through the Race to Dubai Rankings?
With just four tournaments – the DP World India Championship, Genesis Championship, Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship and DP World Tour Championship – to go, here are the 10 players who will earn a 2026 PGA Tour card via the Race to Dubai Rankings.
