DP World Tour Championship: Fantasy DP World Tour Powered by Axi ones to watch

It all ends here as the DP World Tour season comes to a conclusion at the DP World Tour Championship.

Here is everything that players of Fantasy DP World Tour need to know.

The second of back-to-back Rolex Series events brings the curtain down on the campaign and it is all very much still to play for at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

In the battle to top the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP Word and lift the Harry Vardon Trophy, all eyes will be on the top three of Eugenio Chacarra, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed.

But with 2,000 points on offer to the winner this week, mathematically anybody down to Daniel Hillier in ninth could win it all, bringing into play last week's winner Jon Rahm, reigning Major champions Aaron Rai and Ryan Fox and multiple 2026 winners Casey Jarvis and Jayden Schaper.

There are also ten dual memberships with the PGA Tour to play for, with Joe Dean holding the final spot, although should any none exempt player win this week, they are guaranteed a PGA Tour card for next season.

And with Ryder Cup stars Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood also on show, the Earth Course is the only place to be this week.

Who are the most backed players?

It is perhaps little surprise that the top three from last week's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship are the three most-selcted players this week so far.

Rahm leads the way on 84%, followed by Hatton on 56% and McIlroy on 40%. Rai and Fox then round out the top five.

What is the Axi Edge Score?

The Axi Edge Score made a spectacular debut earlier this month as it tipped Jeff Winther, with the Dane going on to win his second DP World Tour title at the Danish Golf Championship on home soil.

The Axi Edge Score is a rating from 0-100 combining form, consistency and upside into a single score making it easier to compare players and gain the edge on your rivals.

The score is built entirely from data the Fantasy game already produces, via a composite golfer rating as follows:

Skill (50%)

What it measures: How well is this golfer scoring right now?

• Average fantasy points per tournament over the golfer's last five completed events

Consistency (30%)

What it measures: How reliable is this golfer?

• % of last five tournaments where the golfer finished above the field median Fantasy score

Risk (20%)

What it measures: How volatile is this player from week-to-week?

• Best single-tournament Fantasy score in the last five events

Who has the Edge?

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy arrives in Dubai with history on his mind. Having won the last four Races to Dubai, a fifth consecutive title would take him to eight, matching the record mark of Colin Montgomerie. He enters the week chasing Eugenio Chacarra and must finish in the top four to have a chance of taking season-long honours. But McIlroy has won this event three times and lost last year in a play-off, with four other top fours. He aso loves this part of the world, with seven wins in Dubai and arrives with two top threes in his last three starts. McIlroy's fate may not entirely be in his own hands, but he rarely fails to keep up his end of the bargain.

Favourite - Jon Rahm

The favourite with you players and in a tight battle with McIlroy among the bookmakers, we have to give this one to Rahm. The Spaniard was playing Yas Links for the first time last week and teeing it up for the first time in seven weeks, since finishing last barring withdrawals at the BMW PGA Championship. He's had plenty going on off the course as well, as he and wife Kelley welcomed a fourth child recently, but was at his brilliant best in storming to victory in the first Play-Off event. He now arrives at a venue where he has three victories and two other top fives in his five appearances and his eyes lit up when he was informed he could still win the Race to Dubai. Nobody in the UAE will be more hungry than Rahm.

Form Horse - Adam Scott

It says a lot about the Australian's longevity that he and McIlroy are the only players in the field this week who played in the inauguaral edition of this event 17 years ago. Since then he was the Masters and been World Number One and he continues to contend at the very top of the world game at the age of 46.  But this is a pick on form, not nostalgia, and there is plenty to suggest Scott can claim a first DP World Tour victory since the Australian PGA Championship in the 2020 season. Since securing a top ten at The Open, his worst finish has been a tie for 16th as he finished top 16 in all three of the PGA Tour Play-Off events, following that with a runner-up finish at Wentworth. Fresh of the back or another top last week and with two top tens over the Earth Course, he is a man to watch.
