The 2026 DP World Tour Championship field is set, with 50 players teeing it up Nov. 12 to 15 on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Race to Dubai leader Eugenio Chacarra lead the way.
It’s the DP World Tour season finale and the second of two Play-Offs events. The winner takes home $3 million from the $10 million purse.
2026 DP World Tour Championship Field: Top Players
Chacarra leads the Race to Dubai in his first full season on tour. The 26-year-old Spaniard holds a lead of about 534 points over McIlroy, with Patrick Reed third.
Rahm won the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship on Sunday in his first start since leaving LIV Golf, moving up to sixth. Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Adam Scott and Aaron Rai are also in the field.
Defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick is not playing. He said in September he was “not that comfortable” playing in the Middle East because of the conflict in the region. Shane Lowry, Alex Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee are also sitting out.

What’s at Stake at the DP World Tour Championship
The winner earns 2,000 Race to Dubai points. Chacarra can only guarantee the season-long title by winning, and McIlroy is chasing his eighth Race to Dubai title, which would tie Colin Montgomerie’s record.
The top 10 in the final standings split a $6 million bonus pool, with $2 million going to the season champion. The top 10 players not otherwise exempt also earn PGA Tour cards for 2027.
Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates
The Greg Norman-designed Earth Course is a par 72 that plays 7,706 yards. It has hosted every edition of the event since it debuted in 2009.
McIlroy, Rahm and Fitzpatrick have each won here three times, the most in event history. Henrik Stenson is the only player to win it in back-to-back years, in 2013 and 2014.

McIlroy still clinched his seventh Race to Dubai title that week.
