DP World Tour Championship predictions
The Golfing Gazette experts have made their predictions for the winner of the DP World Tour Championship and the Race to Dubai.
James Shearman: Robert MacIntyre finished last week’s Abu Dhabi Championship strongly after a slow start, and he should take confidence from that into Dubai. I’m predicting him to win the final event of the season, and for Rory McIlroy to take home the Race to Dubai title with another top-5 finish.
Peter Lynch: It may be an obvious choice, but I’m backing Rory McIlroy to win the DP World Tour Championship and therefore the Race to Dubai. He’s become accustomed to winning here and is in fine form to end his stunning season on a high.
