Rory McIlroy has won his fifth European order of merit title and now has his eyes fixed on the record set by Colin Montgomerie. McIlroy took the crown – named the Race to Dubai – after Adrian Meronk fell short of the third-place finish he required at the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa to keep the season-long race alive going into the final event in Dubai next weekend. McIlroy’s advantage is an unassailable one; he adds the 2023 title to wins in 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2022.
“Winning the Race to Dubai title for the fifth time is an incredible honour and another important milestone in my career,” said McIlroy. “Capturing the Ryder Cup in Rome was a highlight this year and adding this title makes it all the more special.”
