And then there were 70. Here’s the full DP World Tour Playoffs field as the 2026 season comes down to these last two weeks…
As another season draws to a close, we now know the 70 players that have made it into the 2026 DP World Tour Playoffs field – starting with the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship at Yas Links on November 5, before the top 30 head up the road for the DP World Tour Championship the following week.
There is, of course, still plenty to play for. Rory McIlroy is searching for a record-breaking eighth Race to Dubai title that will see him overtake Colin Montgomerie for the most Harry Vardon trophies in his cabinet, and he’ll be battling it out with Patrick Reed and Eugenio Chacarra to end the season as Europe’s No.1.
Perhaps more importantly for Reed and Chacarra, though, is the fact that they will end the season with one of the PGA Tour cards that will be dished out to the leading 10 players who otherwise don’t have them for the 2027 season – and there’s a few twists and turns left in that particular race, too.
As well as a total of $19 million up for grabs across the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship and DP World Tour Championship, there will also be a total of 4,000 Ryder Cup points available as players look to stake a claim in Luke Donald’s team at Adare Manor.
Right, let’s get into the reason you’re here…

10 big names whose DP World Tour season is over
Of course, this means we have to say goodbye – for now – to a few notable players…
Rafa Cabrera Bello
The Spaniard has won some of the biggest prizes available on the DP World Tour, including the Dubai Desert Classic and Scottish Open, but his 2026 season is over after finishing in 86th from 28 starts.
Tom McKibbin
The Northern Irishman made just shy of $19m in three years on LIV Golf, but now he will leave the league to concentrate on his DP World Tour career. His 2026 season is over though after finishing 87th from 14 starts.
Thomas Detry
The Belgian joined Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces in January and banked almost $12m in his lone season on LIV. He played 15 times on the DP World Tour, though, and finished 88th in the standings.
Marco Penge
The Englishman earned his PGA Tour card for this season in last year’s Race to Dubai Rankings but it was a year plagued by injury and illness. He managed 10 DP World Tour events this year, though, and finished 97th.
Matteo Manassero
The popular Italian will just be happy to be back playing regularly at the top table after years of misery that saw him plummet down the world rankings. Manassero finished 98th from 27 events.
Eddie Pepperell
Not only did the entertaining Englishman miss out on the Playoffs, he missed out on a DP World Tour card for next year after he finished in 101st from 22 starts thanks to Sean Crocker overtaking him in spectacular fashion at the Genesis Championship.
Viktor Hovland
The Norwegian played just nine DP World Tour events this year – four of which were the majors – and finished the season 102nd.
Nicolai Hojgaard
Another Ryder Cup player who spent most of his season on the PGA Tour was the elder Hojgaard twin, who finished 105th from 11 starts.
Alex Noren
It feels like the Swede has played in every DP World Tour playoff event since the beginning of time, but he has spent most of his season trying to get himself off the PGA Tour’s unwanted list. He ended the season 109th from just eight starts.
Rasmus Hojgaard
The young sibling is has been hit by a number of injury problems this year, and it meant just seven DP World Tour starts. He finished the season in 111th.
