English golfer Tyrrell Hatton claimed his maiden DP World Tour Championship title, finishing 15-under-par by a margin of five strokes over leader Rory McIlroy. Starting the competition a shot ahead of Victor Perez, Hatton maintained a steady pace throughout the event. While Hatton secured his victory, the Race to Dubai title remained contested, ultimately being won by McIlroy after a dramatic showdown with Eugenio Chacarra on the final day.
This triumph marked Hatton's first win on the DP World Tour in nearly two years, having previously won at the 2025 Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club in Dubai. The victory also extended Hatton's record to six wins in the Rolex Series, tying him with fellow golfer Jon Rahm. Hatton's success on the Earth Course has been a long time coming, with previous runner-up finishes in 2016 and 2022, along with four additional top 10 placements.
Jon Rahm, previously a teammate of Hatton on the LIV Golf tour, set the record for the most wins on the Rolex Series with six titles earlier this season.
