Stage set for European Tour finale in Dubai

Golf's European Tour season concludes in Dubai at the DP World Tour Championship which tees off on Thursday at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

It's a star-studded field with 19 of the top 50 in the world in attendance, including four of the top 10.

A whopping $3 million (over AED 11 million) awaits the winner, which is the biggest first prize in the history of tournament golf.

Meanwhile, a $5 million (AED 18.3 million) bonus pool will be split among the top-five in the season-long race.

Any of the 50 players in action can win the tournament, but because of how the points have fallen this year, only Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry and Matthew Fitzpatrick can possibly win the season-long race.
