DP World Tour Championship 2023: Preview, betting tips, how to watch

The DP World Tour Championship will bring the curtain down on another superb season on the international circuit this week.

Three-time winner Jon Rahm heads the star-studded field alongside Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.

First staged 14 years ago, the event is the fifth and final of the lucrative Rolex Series and brings the Race to Dubai to a close.

That is usually decided in Dubai, but after Max Homa’s victory in the Nedbank Golf Challenge, McIlroy has claimed the crown for a fifth time.

The Northern Irishman is one of only 50 in the field this week, as the top ranked players in the standings qualify for the event.

So, as the season-long competition has already crowned the DP World Tour’s number one player, here is everything you need to know about its final flagship event.

Twice a winner of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and a winner of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Tyrrell Hatton looks good value to hand it to the big guns. The Englishman was also second behind Rahm here last year.
