RDER Cup stars Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry are poised to take advantage of a lesserk known rule ahead of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship next month. The Middle Eastern event is typically only open to the top 70 players on the DP World Tour after the Korea Championship concludes next week. Despite Fleetwood ranking 94th and Lowry 155th, largely due to their participation in the PGA Tour this season, a loophole could grant them entry into the Abu Dhabi tournament. The DP World Tour rule book includes a clause that allows team Europe members to have their own exemption category for both the Abu Dhabi event and the DP World Tour Championship. Lou Vabberg and Septraka who currently rank 72nd and 147th respectively are the other two team Europe members outside the top 70 at this point. Meanwhile, Rory Mroy, Robert McIntyre, Trell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick, Raasmus Hodgegard, Justin Rose, John Rahm, and Victor Havland are all within the cutoff point. Fleetwood, a seventime European tour winner, has amassed 531.47 47 race to Dubai points this season while Irishman Lowry trails with just 231.70. That’s despite both having participated in only 15 tournaments combined with Fleetwood and Lowry both exempt from qualifying through the top 70. They could be set to boost their bank balance with a substantial prize pool on offer at the Abu Dhabi tournament in 3 weeks. Although the final prize money is yet to be confirmed, it’s likely to be at least1 million pounds, meaning Fleetwood and Lowry stand to gain even if they finish outside the top 70 as they will have the right to compete for the winner’s prize. Last year, a whopping 6,766,380 was up for grabs throughout the prize share with a cool 1,150,284 going to the eventual champion Paul Wearing. Meanwhile, the runnerup pocketed 744,31 lb with third place taking home 426,281 lb. It just means so much to so many other things that come with that win. An emotional wearing confessed after securing the biggest payday of his career thus far in 2024. That said, early in the week to actually keep control of myself in the way that I did today, I’m really proud of myself and my caddy Alex Evans was absolutely amazing. My playing partner was amazing. Shane was great, as was Nicholas Norgard. I’m a bit taken aback right now.
