Only McIlroy and Thriston Lawrence remain in the running to top DP World Tour’s order of merit
Rory McIlroy speaks in a press conference ahead of the DP World Tour Championship 2024 on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
Still, McIlroy has his sights set on closing the deal with destiny in his own hands. And a sixth career European Tour order of merit title would take him alongside Seve Ballesteros in the all-time listing and to two behind Colin Montgomerie.

“I really just tried to focus on the positives this year of consistently performing at the highest level. You know, still having three wins with an opportunity to get a fourth here this week, to win another Race to Dubai title ... did I achieve every goal I set for myself this year? Probably not. But I still consider it a successful season. It would be a pass. It wouldn’t be a pass with flying colours. Probably an eight,” said McIlroy of his self-assessment.
