Rory McIlroy caps sixth Race to Dubai title win with two-stroke victory at 2024 DP World Tour Championship

With the win, McIlroy tied the legendary Seve Ballesteros with six Race to Dubai titles

The best European golfer of the last decade and a half was once again the best European golfer in 2024. Rory McIlroy emerged from a three-way tie for the lead at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship to capture his fourth worldwide victory of the season and his sixth Race to Dubai crown. McIlroy's final-round 69 was enough to push his name to 15 under for the tournament, two strokes clear of Rasmus Højgaard.

"It means a lot. I've been through a lot this year professionally, personally," McIlroy said. "It feels like the fitting end to 2024. You know, yeah, look, I've persevered this year a lot. Had close calls. Wasn't able to get it done. 

"So the to be able to get over the line, you know, I got off to a great start and didn't have my best in the middle of the round and Rasmus and I both struggled to get momentum. I thought saving par on 15 was huge. I made four great swings coming in -- the wedge on 16, the shot on 18 and two shots on the last. Really pleased with the way I finished, and thankfully I hung on on a tough day and got it done."
