The first of two-season ending events brings together the top 70 players in the Race to Dubai rankings – including World No.2 Rory McIlroy, defending champion Aaron Rai, and ex-LIV Golf star Jon Rahm, who makes his debut.

Only 50 players can earn a spot at next week’s DP World Tour Championship, where the season-long winner will be crowned.

Last year saw Rai beat Tommy Fleetwood in a play-off to get his hands on the silverware, with McIlroy and Nicolai Højgaard having finished a shot off the leaders.

It all means more at this time of year and UK fans can tune in to extensive coverage from all four days at the tournament.
