SUN CITY, South Africa (Reuters) – Rory McIlroy secured first place in the DP World Tour rankings on Sunday, emerging as the champion without even hitting a shot. None of his closest competitors can catch up to him after the conclusion of the penultimate event of the season at Sun City.
Northern Irishman McIlroy, with 5,164.5 points heading into the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai this week, has now claimed the top spot in the formerly known European Tour money list for the fifth time. He previously achieved this feat in 2012, 2014, 2015, and last year.
McIlroy, who earned over seven million euros ($7.48 million) in prize money from nine tour events this year, holds a comfortable lead of 2,083 points over second-placed Jon Rahm, the Masters champion, with Adrian Meronk in third place.
Poland’s Meronk participated in the Nedbank Challenge at Sun City over the weekend, where he earned an additional 94.5 points after finishing 15th.
The tournament in South Africa was won by American Max Homa, who finished four shots ahead of Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard.
The top 50 players in the Race to Dubai rankings will compete for a $10-million purse at Jumeirah Golf Estate starting from Thursday.
