3. Rory McIlroy

Race To Dubai Points: 2,824,149

Upcoming Schedule: Nedbank Golf Challenge, DP World Tour Championship

How He Got Here: In only 13 European starts this season, it speaks volumes of McIlroy’s play that he’s so well-positioned in terms of trying to add a Race To Dubai success to his PGA Tour FedEx Cup win this season.

A big win on his home island for the Irish Open provided McIlroy with his biggest European pay day this year, while strong play at three World Golf Championship events helped to bolster his case further.

Recent Form: The FedEx Cup saw McIlroy hit his stride after a season that had been somewhat marked by putting woes, and two wins in that time would go on to spur him on to a strong Ryder Cup too. Fourth place in China last week sets him up well for his return to action in South Africa next week.
