Rory McIlroy's successful year continues as he picked up the Race to Dubai crown without even hitting a ball, after results at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa went the Northern Irishman's way.
The World No.2 wins the crown for the fifth time, despite only playing in nine tournaments, including all four Majors. His latest title was confirmed on Sunday when Adrian Meronk, who has played in 23 events, failed to achieve the third place he needed at Sun City to keep the contest alive, an event that concludes at the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
