The 2024 Race to Dubai is set for a thrilling conclusion, with a host of global stars qualifying for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, taking place at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 14-17.
Billy Horschel, who recently claimed his second BMW PGA Championship title, will tee it up on the world-renowned Earth Course alongside Major Champions Shane Lowry, Justin Rose and Adam Scott and fellow Rolex Series winner Robert MacIntyre, who won the Genesis Scottish Open in July.
They join reigning Race to Dubai champion Rory McIlroy and his fellow Ryder Cup star and 2017 European Number One Tommy Fleetwood, who have already been confirmed for the final Rolex Series event of the season.
Horschel’s victory at Wentworth saw him move up to third on the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex, and the American will be making his second appearance in the season-ending event.
The 37-year-old won the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup in 2014 after claiming the BMW Championship and TOUR Championship titles in back-to-back weeks, and the eight-time PGA TOUR winner is excited by the opportunity towin the DP World Tour’s season-ending title.
“I’m excited to return to Dubai next month to finish my season,” said Horschel. “I really enjoyed my experience at Jumeirah Golf Estates three years ago and I’m looking forward to getting back to the UAE.
“It has been great playing in some of the DP World Tour’s most historic events in the latter part of the season and I hope to finish the year on a high note with another memorable experience in Dubai.
“I’m incredibly proud to have won the TOUR Championship on the PGA TOUR, so to have a chance to add the DP World Tour Championship title to my trophy cabinet would certainly be very special.”
Horschel finished joint runner-up at The 152nd Open at Royal Troon alongside Justin Rose, who has also confirmed his return to the DP World Tour Championship. Joining them in the field is Australian Adam Scott, who won the Masters Tournament in 2013, the same year that Rose won the U.S. Open at Merion.
Fellow Major Champion Lowry will be competing in back-to-back weeks in the UAE, after also confirming his appearance at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. The Irishman, who won The 148th Open at Royal Portrush in 2019, has recorded 13 Top 20 worldwide finishes in 2024, including a victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA TOUR alongside Rory McIlroy.
Scotsman MacIntyre is enjoying a career-best season a year on from making his Ryder Cup debut at Marco Simone, having won both the RBC Canadian Open and his home Genesis Scottish Open in 2024. The 28-year-old is currently sixth on the Race to Dubai Rankings and is hoping to eclipse his previous highest finish of ninth on the season-long standings, which he achieved in 2019.
