Rory McIlroy finished the 2024 season in style after claiming his sixth Race to Dubai title following victory at the DP World Tour Championship.

The Northern Irishman only needed a top-11 finish at Jumeirah Golf Estates to reach the summit of the season rankings, with South African Thriston Lawrence the only player able to deny him with a win in Dubai.
