The 2023/24 DP World Tour season is officially in the history books after Rory McIlroy claimed his third title at the season finale, the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course in Dubai.
The Northern Irishman saw off the challenge of Rasmus Hojgaard to claim his fourth worldwide victory of the year and put a satisfactory cap on what he admitted had been a tricky year at times.
Afterwards, he said: "It means a lot. I've been through a lot this year, professionally, personally, and it feels like the fitting end to 2024."
Rasmus Hojgaard finished runner-up
McIlroy headed into the tournament at the top of the Race to Dubai rankings, with the rest of the field made up of the next 49 available players on the list.
The 72-hole, no-cut event offered the largest purse of the year, with $10m available - over $3m more than men’s elite golf’s next biggest event this week, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Last year, Nicolai Hojgaard won the event to claim a payday of $3m, and McIlroy claimed an identical sum for his victory.
As well as the tournament title, McIlroy also wrapped up his sixth Race to Dubai title at the event, which earned him an additional $2m payout from the bonus pool of $6m to complete a hugely lucrative week for the four-time Major winner.
Below is what each player earned at the DP World Tour Championship.
