DP World Tour Championship: Top 10 Power Rankings
By Adam McGee
Although Rory McIlroy’s decision to withdraw from the Turkish Airlines Open and skip the Nedbank has hindered his chances of winning the Race to Dubai overall, the Northern Irishman still has plenty of motivation to go out and win this week.
Not only does McIlroy have the pride in being the defending champion at the event to reckon with, but he also tees it up on Thursday knowing that a win in Dubai would put him right back within touching distance of the world no.1 spot.
Not only did McIlroy reign supreme here last year, but he was also the champion back in 2012. All in all, his comfort on this course cannot be questioned, and it would be a surprise if the FedEx Cup champion doesn’t go close again here.
