8. Chris Wood

Race To Dubai Points: 1,756,331

Upcoming Schedule: Nedbank Golf Challenge, DP World Tour Championship

How He Got Here: Although there’s been some good play throughout the year for Wood, his fortunes were totally transformed thanks to one really big at the best possible time.

A win at the tour’s flagship BMW PGA Championship secured Wood with one of the biggest pay days available in Europe throughout the season, saw Wood make his way into the European Ryder Cup team and rocket up the Race to Dubai leaderboard.

Recent Form: Neither the best nor the worst of the rookies at the Ryder Cup, Wood is playing pretty solid golf, as his last three starts can attest to. Top-25s at the Italian Open, British Masters and WGC-HSBC Champions mean he shouldn’t be overlooked in the coming weeks.
