1. Henrik Stenson

Race To Dubai Points: 3,843,284

Upcoming Schedule: Nedbank Golf Challenge, DP World Tour Championship

How He Got Here: Stenson is no stranger to Race to Dubai success having been the overall winner back in 2013, but it could never feel more fitting for him to win that title again, than if he was to do it at the end of what’s been a career season.

With an incredible six top-three finishes in 14 European Tour starts this season, Stenson’s play has been imperious, as demonstrated by his win at the Open Championship and the BMW International Open.

Recent Form: With a combination of injuries keeping him out of action in the FedEx Cup and for much of the run up to the Ryder Cup, and some rest in recent weeks, Stenson’s schedule hasn’t exactly been hectic. Saying that, he took the top spot thanks to a second place finish at the WGC-HSBC Champions last week, and should be fresh heading into the final two weeks of his season.
