As the Race to Dubai comes to its conclusion in 2016, the European Tour will get exactly the kind of final series they likely envisioned upon the event’s inception.

Many of the world’s very best players are well-positioned to battle it out over a three week spell to see who will be crowned the winner of the equivalent of the old European money list, and in effect the best player on tour for the year.

Among them, FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy, Masters winner Danny Willett and Open champion Henrik Stenson will all feature prominently.

In spite of security fears causing many players to skip the opening event, Turkish Airlines Open, a strong field there, plus the prestigious Nedbank Golf Challenge and the season ending DP World Tour Championship mean that there’s plenty of drama yet to come.

Whether one of the front runners can find the kind of form to hang on to their existing strong position, or an in-form player can come from further back in the pack to win remains to be seen.

Who’s going to walk away as the Race to Dubai winner for 2016? Let’s take a closer look at the top-10 heading into the final series.
