The DP World Tour Play-Offs get under way this week with a stellar field assembled at Yas Links for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. After 40 events across five continents and 27 countries covering five Global Swings and the Back 9 we have reached the DP World Tour Play-Offs. We have so far seen 35 different winners, with 19 lifting a DP World Tour trophy for the first time. Race to Dubai Rankings leader McIlroy arrives at Yas Links looking for a seventh Harry Vardon Trophy and fourth in a row but he may well not have it all his own way in the UAE. Three-time winner this season Marco Penge is his nearest challenger and it’s very much game on. McIlroy may take the headlines but with all of the top 18 in the Race to Dubai Rankings and 66 of the top 70 on display, he will have to overcome an elite field to finally get his hands on the trophy at an event where he has nine top threes from 13 appearances. Seven of his Ryder Cup team-mates tee it up including Tommy Fleetwood and Robert MacIntyre, both of whom are also currently in the top ten on the Official World Golf Ranking. It’s All To Play For.

Welcome to the Official YouTube channel of the DP World Tour. Every week you can find extended tournament highlights and individual player highlights from the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood. This is also the home of the 14 Club Challenge, Little Interviews, Fastest Hole and many more challenges, pranks and world record attempts featuring the biggest golfers in the world.

Yeah. Yeah. Beautifully controlled. And this will get better and better. And a chance for him to vault to 17 under. Great chance for Maroy to get to three under for his day through two. [Applause] I mean, Wayne Riley talks about it all the time, but Brad Faxton is ruling [Applause] shot into a green with a draft into the face. Maybe they’ll change that for next year. Good looking thing. Seemed like we had a lot of club on the ball there. Radar needs to settle. What a shot. And an awkward stance as well. And that’s going to come back down. Oh, wow. Wow. The number of shots we’ve seen on two the whole week. Just outside left for three. Off to a flyer. He sure is. Tommy Fleetwood. The start of dreams. Birdie Eagle. Whoa. Whoa. Ah. Left. Big flare out to the right. Needs a bit of ground work. Well, do you know what? This could be the luckiest shot of his week. If it misses the sprinklers. No. Well, just go in. Oh, well, you need a bit of luck to win. It’s a good shot. It’s a good shot. Will that be the one that I got a mate who’s a member of Ry? I’m playing this with him as well. Good idea. Not huge. Now start drifting. Oh, good try. He’s He’s aiming a long way outside, right? I don’t see it bending that much. Oh, I tell you he was right. Yeah. And it wasn’t you, Wayne. It was Aaron Ry. It’s a spectacular putt. Well, Penge drove it earlier on today when he made his two. Had it to just over 20 ft. Knocked the pod in. Oh, goodness me. He’s flown it there. Explain that to me. How’s he flown that there? He can’t. 249 with a six iron. Can he land it on the front third and release it down to it? Yes. Hit that up slope. You know, just about ideal that radar. Yeah, it’s great. But you know, just where he landed, it just killed it a little bit. He’ll take it. Man, will he take it. That one goes in ahead once more after four in a row for Aaron Wright. Mentally he’s just proven to you how strong. Good view of this. Want this to land just short. Throw it right over the top. Oh, he’s used the back slope beautifully. Come on, keep coming. It’s a good chance. [Applause] soft. Oh, it did, Daniel. It did exactly as requested. Fine shot, sir. Big also arrived in Abu Dhabi this morning. So, the family are on hand to give some support. Long range here for Dan all across the green for Eagle to leaprog everyone. Outside chance, sensational’s got to start running the tables now. This will be a great start. Perfect position. 114. Go on. Spin to the hole. Yeah, that’s not bad. Good. distance right over to his direct competitor for that. Or he can go one ahead of him again with this down the hill. Now it’s going to be I was going to say just low but just caught enough of the edge. I’ve been delighted to see that lie and he’s taken full advantage. It’s a sublime touch from Hill. [Music] That is pretty giddy up. Just covers that corner perfectly. Stunning shot from Marin right. Such great balance and poise to that move. Go. Perfection. He’s on a charge, Laura. He most certainly is, as you’d expect. Done very well to push his way in here. Maroy. Another great chance. Just shy of 120. Interesting. He decided to lay up to Dian 14. Yeah, absolutely. And paying dividends right there. Golden opportunity to get within one. And he does the walls number two. Needs one right now. [Applause] Right on queue. Tommy Fleetwood back on top with Hillia and right this time round in Abu Dhabi. This for part and the drama continues from Aaron Wright. up ahead. Deep one. He’s going to have another go. No. Where does it go? Oh dear. Get in the hole. He really is a marvel around the greens. As good as anyone. And that’s his favorite. Never say never. We said at the start of the day to Rory Maroy a 62 on Sunday. One yard of draw. It’s an excellent shot. Look at him like an alley cat. They could both learn from that. Nothing more satisfying than nailing one when you know the line. And Tommy Freewood is out in front. finds a birdie there at 16 to get to 24. It won’t be a lot of movement at all. Yes, brilliant stuff from Ray. Brilliant from all three finding threes there at the final par four on the golf course. Should be one more club than the other two. Again, the flight should be helpful on landing. He’s done it again. He’s done it again. He’s played another worldly. I mean, that a great example of sort of a defensive aggressive shot. [Music] Head down as always. It’s a good line. And he’s done it. [Applause] Oh, what a cut from Tony Fleetwood. Looks pretty good to me. And it’ll look pretty good to him. What a shot by Nikolai Hoyer. That was certainly worth the wait. Draws it back towards it. It’s better than Fleetwoods, but not stone dead by any means. Come on. [Applause] The door’s a job. [Applause] He won’t die wondering. He’s given it too much. Let’s not get a tongue from there. Oh, [Applause] a final birdie for Hoyard. [Applause] Oh, what a good try out. What a try. Tommy’s probably thinking he wishes his one was a little bit closer. The castle T will he end up being the king of Abu Dhabi? Pretty [Music] much like that. Can’t ask for much more. Pressure applied. But will he? Nice aggressive strike. Oh, he hasn’t. And he’s going to give AR a little bit of an idea with the line on that pot. Every chance and once more it stays up for Tommy Fleetwood. So it moves from the right but not a lot. Oh boy. Well, there Aaron. Second chance. It’s a rise smile and another Rolex Series gold star Aaron Ry the victor of the Abu Dhabi HSBC championship over Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, he’s done it to him again. Terrific performance from Ryan. Great tour. Haron, your second Rolex win 5 years after your last one, this one coming at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Try and describe your emotions right now. It’s It’s hard to sum up. Um I think you’re so focused on on playing around and obviously just trying to stay in your zone. It’s hard to put into words at the moment how how this feels or how I’m going to reflect on it, but um just amazing to be stood here. Um obviously Tommy’s a phenomenal player. He’s an even better person than he is a player and that says a lot. Um and to to play with him the last two days and um to be out there with him was was really special as well. So yeah, amazing to be here. You mentioned staying in the zone there. You were four under through seven and then you were one over through your next eight including that short putt at 14 that you missed. How did you come back from that to win this one? My caddy Jason was great uh walking down the 15th. Um cuz it was a little bit of a a shock to the system really on on 14 missing a short putt there. Um but he was great just telling me to stay present um and just focusing on on playing the next shots and trying to finish strong. um made a really good up and down on 15 which which really helped um made a nice putt there which certainly gave a little bit of confidence moving forward. So um yeah that was that was an important moment and uh yeah it was nice to finish off pretty strong over the last three holes as well. Aaron, many many congratulations and good luck next week. Thank you. Cheers.

  1. I admire Rai's demeanor. When he makes a clutch shot he looks like he expected to. That's a champion.

  2. Great composure after a couple of late missed putts by Rai to win! Fleetwood also finished strong and of course a top round of -10 on the final day for McILROY!

  3. Absolutely fantastic golf from all the players. DP World Tour is great and we want to see more of this. Hope more top players come to stay on DP. – Congrats to Aron Rai. Have followed him for a number of years now and seen his progress. Fantastic !! Congrats !!

  4. You must give Rai credit–he's an outstanding player; he misses the short par put–then still comes back to win; Fleetwood is playing well; as long as you are consistently near the top –you'll win your share; it's very difficult to win on either the PGA or the DP tour; one win a year is really good–Fleetwood has a win (PGA) this year–he has had a great year including (I must grudgingly add as an American) the Ryder Cup.

  5. Was following their group today. That missed 2ft on 14th was a shocker for everyone, but Aaron then made huge par putt on 15th to take momentum. Everybody was cheering for Tommy understandably so, but Aaron stayed really cool and focused, even after huge birdie putt on 17th. He got another fun today. Incredible play!

  6. Sensational 62 from Rory but just not enough done earlier in the week. Rai was class. Took a bit of a hit when he missed the short one but then clutched it in from there. Sorry for Tommy but at least he gave those putts a good run and didn't leave them short. As the commentator said, 'He won't die wondering.'
