Rory McIlroy has secured his sixth Race to Dubai title after Thriston Lawrence's performance at the DP World Tour Championship fell short. The South African was the only player who had a chance to overtake McIlroy for the title, but he finished in the midfield, allowing McIlroy to clinch the top spot in the season rankings. To achieve this milestone, McIlroy only needed to finish in the top 11 at the Jumeirah Golf Estates. With Lawrence unable to secure a victory in Dubai, McIlroy's position was solidified. This latest triumph places him level with the legendary Seve Ballesteros on the all-time list for Race to Dubai titles.

Rory McIlroy showcased his remarkable talent at Wentworth, even though he ended up as the runner-up for the second consecutive week.

Despite not clinching the title, McIlroy's relentless pursuit of excellence was evident throughout the competition.
