Rory McIlroy has won his sixth Race to Dubai title after triumphing in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. The 35-year-old has now won three successive Race to Dubai crowns and his sixth overall — previously winning in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2022 and 2023 — to match the record of golfing legend Seve Ballesteros on the European tour.

There was a tournament going on, a big one at that. But for a few of the players in the 50-strong field at the DP World Tour Championship—the 44th and last event on the Old World circuit this season—there was a whole new level of pressure.

Rory McIlroy won the DP World Tour Championship for the third time and claimed his sixth Race to Dubai title in the process on Sunday.
