Rory McIlroy emerged from a three-way tie for the lead at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship to capture his fourth worldwide victory of the season and his sixth Race to Dubai crown. McIlroy's final-round 69 was enough to push his name to 15 under for the tournament,

McIlroy overcame an average finish to remain tied for the lead at the DP World Tour Championship while Tom McKibbin moved into position with one round to play to earn his PGA Tour card.
