Contested for the first time in 2009, the DP World Tour Championship features the top 50 players in the DP World Tour Rankings. When it was first held, it was a replacement for the Volvo Masters which used to be held in Spain from 1988 to 2008.
British golfer Lee Westwood won the inaugural edition of the Dubai-based competition. Meanwhile, with three titles, Jon Rahm of Spain holds the record for the most wins in the event’s history.
