The DP World Tour Play-Offs phase of the season begins with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links.
There, 70 players will compete for overall prize money of $9m and the 50 places available in the season finale, the DP World Tour Championship, where the Race to Dubai champion will be crowned.
Rory McIlroy begins the event leading the Race to Dubai rankings, and he can become mathematically certain of lifting the Harry Vardon Trophy this week with a strong performance and slip-ups from his two closest rivals, Thriston Lawrence and Rasmus Hojgaard.
The trio are grouped together in the opening two rounds, with a start time of 12.23am ET (5.23am GMT) in the first round and 2.50am ET (7.50am GMT) in the second round.
Another strong group features 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott, LIV Golf's Tyrrell Hatton and five-time DP World Tour winner Matteo Manassero. They tee it up at 11.01pm ET (4.01am GMT) in the first round and 1.28am ET (6.28am GMT) in the second round.
Tyrrell Hatton is one of three LIV Golf stars in the field
Tommy Fleetwood has two Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship titles among his seven DP World Tour wins, and he's grouped with Robert MacIntyre and Shane Lowry. The three begin at 2.50am ET (7.50am GMT) in the first round and 12.23am ET (5.23am GMT) in the second round.
