Rory McIlroy Wins DP World Tour Championship

Rory McIlroy concluded a turbulent 2024 season by winning the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, securing his sixth Race to Dubai title, which ties him with the late Seve Ballesteros. McIlroy achieved a three-under-par 69, birdieing two of the last three holes, including a critical birdie on 16 that distanced him from Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard, who finished with a par and a final score of 71. This victory marks McIlroy's fourth worldwide win of the year, despite experiencing significant personal upheavals, including a public announcement of a divorce that he later reconsidered. With this win, McIlroy remains two titles behind the record held by Colin Montgomerie for Race to Dubai victories. The emotional weight of the year, filled with close calls and personal challenges, was evident in McIlroy's reflections after the tournament, highlighting the perseverance he displayed throughout the season.
