The Finish Line in Dubai

I would be remiss if I neglected the final event within the Race to Dubai, the DP World Tour Championship on the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.

Last year -- as is frequently the case -- this event gave us winners. While Danny Willett is the protecting champion on the DP World Tour Championship, Francesco Molinari is the protecting Race to Dubai winner.

This yr Molinari might not shield. The Top5 gamers inside the Race to Dubai are:

1. Bernd Wiesberger
2. Tommy Fleetwood
3. Jon Rahm
4. Shane Lowry
5. Matthew Fitzpatrick

And I have to say that my money's on Fleetwood. As well as Weisberger has played, Tommy narrowly missed out on the big prize last year. I just don't see it happening again. And let's not forget that Tommy won it in 2017.

GC's live coverage begins Thursday morning at 2am ET. Golf Central begins an hour earlier.

But the exhilaration has already started, hasn't it? This may be the nice Race to Dubai we've got seen in years.
