DP World Tour: Five Events That Stood Out

Another year at the DP World Tour is about to enter the books, full, as usual, with heroics and anguish.

What leads to the final this week, the DP World Tour Championship in Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where the 50 players who will accumulate the largest number of points will compete for the title.

There will also be a winner, either Rory Mcilroy, who has a great advantage, or Thriston Lawrence, in the race to Dubai that will give 10 golfers a total of $ 6 million.

Below are five events in the 2023-24 season that demonstrated its suspense part:

January 11-14: Dubai Invitational

In the section, it was the McCilroy tournament win or lose.

It is lost.

A blow to hole 72 at the Dubai Creek Resort, Mcilroy of Northern Ireland found the water with its exit blow, which led to a bogey. Tommy Fleetwood was used from England, who hit a 16 -foot putt birdie for victory.

“I think I was very happy with the way I played today for the vast majority of the round,” said Fleetwood, who prevailed by one over Mcilroy and South Africa Lawrence.

Mcilroy was also in the target for much of the day. He recorded three consecutive Birdies in the back nine, but three two feet whores in 14 e made the expensive error in 18.

January 18-21: Hero Dubai Desert Classic

A week later, Mcilroy exposed for his defeat against Fleetwood, capturing the event at the Emirates Golf Club for the fourth time. It seemed 18 to defeat Adrian Meronk for one.

“It was one of those days when there were a lot of fireworks just because the course was so widespread,” he told reporters.

Mcilroy seemed ready for another successful season. It turned out to be, except for not winning an important championship. His last older arrived in the PGA championship in 2014.

“A couple of things to work,” he said, “but the thesis week is great. You learn a lot of them, and obviously great to get competition and go to the top too.”

June 20-23: KLM Open

In the end, a three -men playoff was reduced in the International in Amsterdam between Guido Migliozzi from Italy, Marcus Kinhult from Sweden and Joe Dean from England.

The performance of Migliozzi in Hole 18, a torque 5, made the difference.

He beat him in regulation and again in the first and second hole of Playoffs, two putting for his first tour of tour in almost two years.

Kinhult and Dean also hit him in the first hole of the playoffs, but could not do better than the pairs in the second.

“I never thought I had finished,” said Migliozzi, who had continued two with four holes to travel.

He said it was an incredible feeling. “It’s super, very nice to be here now.”

September 19-22: BMW PGA Championship

While Mcilroy again fell short, he found the water in the final hole of the regulation and had to settle for a couple – Billy Horschel of the United States fired four rounds in the 60s.

Horschel called a 35 -foot foot for an eagle in the second playoff hole at the Wentworth Club in England to defeat Mcilroy, becoming the first American to win the event twice; His previous victory had arrived in 2021.

Mcilroy barely lost his attempt from Águila in the same hole.

“I hit some really good shots and made some really good whores,” said Horschel later. “That is what you have to do when you are not shooting in all cylinders.”

October 3-6: Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Prevailing in the ancient course in St. Andrews in Scotland was Tyrrell Hatton of England for a blow to Nicolas Cotserts in Belgium.

Hatton was triumphant on the DP World tour for the first time in three years, becoming the first player to win the tournament three times. “It is real the first tournament I won with my dad here,” Hatton said.

“It means a lot, and doing it at the Golf House is really special,” he added. “I am trying not to cry, to be honest, I am a little lost by the words.”
