DP World Tour players earn 2027 PGA Tour cards, Digi Mart USA News: The DP World Tour Championship concluded with Tyrrell Hatton winning by five strokes at 15-under 273, while Rory McIlroy claimed the season-long Race to Dubai points title for a record-tying eighth time, according to a Golf Digest report republished by Australian Golf Digest.
Beyond the tournament itself, the season’s most closely watched contest was for PGA Tour cards for 2027. The top 10 players on the final Race to Dubai points list who did not already hold PGA Tour playing privileges earned that status.
Eugenio Chacarra and Patrick Reed were among the players who had already clinched their spots. Both are former LIV golfers who had to play their way onto the PGA Tour after one-year suspensions, and the report says they accomplished that.
The final place was decided late. Joe Dean entered the final round outside the top 10 and shot a closing 74 in Dubai.
When Mikael Lindberg bogeyed his last hole on Sunday, Dean retained the 10th card, according to the report.
The report also notes that these 2027 cards could carry larger career implications because of a format change scheduled for the PGA Tour in 2028. A spot on the planned Championship Series, which the report says will have purses of $20 million, is a goal the players will pursue in the new year.
