What a DP World Tour fortnight !!!!

If you missed the last fortnight on the DP World Tour, you missed two of the best golf events anywhere.

Shane Lowry's -23 win by a record 11 shots at the Amgen Irish Open in Doonbeg, with Trump who owns the amazing revamped links in attendance, and all of Ireland either jammed into the course or watching somewhere in the world was as veteran broadcaster Paul McGinley summed it up " I've never seen the likes of this !"

Then this past weekend at the legendary West course at Wentworth, the flagship event BMW PGA Championship headlined by Rory and 8 of the European Ryder Cup team, was another "I've never seen this" again moment

The Sunday shootout that saw 20 players within three shots of the lead, it was an Agatha Christie "who dunnit" until the hero was finally revealed

After a tragic 72nd hole double bogey meltdown by Spaniard Manuel Elvira, American JJ Spaun, on a working holiday with his wife, snuck in "along the rail" in the words of commentator Ken Brown, with a 4 timely birdies in 5 holes to pip the likes of Rory and Adam Scott to take the coveted title back to California.

McIlroy now vying record tying 8th Race to Dubai title....All to play for..Latest Rankings

 DP World Tour : Race to Dubai Rankings

Rory McIlroy more than halved the deficit to Patrick Reed at the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World with a runner-up finish at the BMW PGA Championship.

The Northern Irishman was handed an unexpected opportunity in his pursuit of a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title on Friday when American Reed retired through a left wrist injury during the third round.

He capitalised on the chance it presented, closing out his week at Wentworth Club with a four-under-par 68 as he finished in a four-way tie for 2nd alongside fellow Major Championship winners Aaron Rai and Adam Scott, along with Spaniard Manuel Elvira.

Ahead of the Rolex Series event, McIlroy trailed Reed by 839.76 points but he has now closed the gap to 307.76.

The pair are next set to tee it up in the same event at the DP World India Championship next month, before when Reed is due to compete at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland subject to his injury recovery.

"I'm excited," said McIlroy. "I have three events until the end of my DP World Tour season. I'm not sure what Patrick's schedule looks like coming up, but I feel like I have enough opportunities.

"And I'm going back to-golf course in India that I played for the first time last year, so I'll know it a little bit better; and then going to Abu Dhabi and Dubai where I had a lot of success in my career. Excited for the opportunity, and it would be obviously amazing to match Monty's record."

UPCOMING REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE

After Shane Lowry's record breaking win at the Amgen Irish Open an event many experts say they'd never seen the likes of with all of Ireland watching, The Rolex Series returned to Wentworth Club for the stunning BMW PGA Championship last weekend with as many as 20 players in contention until JJ Spaun was finally declared the winner at the 72nd hole..

LATEST IN RANKINGS

Rai, who won the US PGA Championship in May and was presented with the inaugural Rory McIlroy Award ahead of the BMW PGA Championship, climbed 4th from 7th in the season-long rankings, with Ryan Fox a spot further back after moving up by one following a tie for sixth at Wentworth's West Course.

Elvira, who suffered a heartbreaking double-bogey finish in his bid for a first professional title, vaulted up 50 places to 35th and seal a debut appearance at the DP World Tour Play-Offs, with Scott doing likewise as he too fell just short of what would have been victory on the 25th anniversary of his event debut.

The next biggest riser on the Rankings was Filippo Celli, who made his BMW PGA Championship debut one to remember as he held a share of the 54-hole lead before a birdie-birdie finish to his final round earned him a share of 6th.

The Italian is up to 80th, having started the week in 116th place, strengthening his chances of retaining his playing privileges on the Race to Dubai for next year and putting the DP World Tour Play-Offs in his sights.

Alejandro del Rey moved to 49th, up eight places from 57th, to enhance his chances of reaching the season-ending DP World Tour Championship for the first time.

Scotland's David Law moved inside the all-important top 100 which is required to earn a DP World Tour card for next season.

JJ Spaun outlasts the field to win BMW PGA Championship...Final Results

    DP World Tour: BMW PGA Championship Results  Leaderboard

JJ Spaun birdied four of his last five holes to claim a dramatic maiden Rolex Series victory at the BMW PGA Championship.

The American entered the final day at Wentworth Club one shot off the lead but had slipped further behind and did not look to be in contention stood on the 14th tee as a host of fellow Major champions battled for the title.

A hat-trick of birdies changed all that, however, and when he also made a birdie on the last, he had set the target at -17 under with a 67.

It was not all over as Manuel Elvira eagled the 17th to join him at the summit but when the Spaniard double-bogeyed the last, Spaun had a second DP World Tour title following his victory at the 2025 U.S. Open.

Elvira signed for a 70 to finish in a share of second two shots back alongside Masters champions Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott and US PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai.

Spaun's victory makes him just the third American to win this title after Arnold Palmer and Billy Horschel and the first player to win it on debut since Byeong hun An in 2015.

"It means so much," he said. "You know, I've kind of blossomed into this player I never thought I could be, and to take my game across the world and more specifically here in England, a place that's dear to my family's heart, we vacation here quite a bit.

"The stars kind of aligned this week for me to come out on top and I'm just grateful to have the opportunity and play and play well and give myself a chance and came out with a W.

"I knew the whole day I had to stay patient because of the closing stretch at Wentworth because you could go eagle, eagle and you could also go bogey, bogey.

Spaun, who revealed he had used his omission from the Presidents Cup team as an inspiration this week, celebrated with wife Melody after the victory, and she had brought a surprise visitor in the form of a mask of UK broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson.

"We've grown fond of him, along with the English culture, we actually take holidays in December in the Cotswolds and we really enjoy his show," said Spaun. "I went to his pub, the Farmer's Dog, with the hopes to catch a glimpse of him but he wasn't around.

Overnight leader Elvira put his second at the 17th to nine feet and rolled in the eagle putt to join the lead and give Spaun an anxious wait.

But in search of a first professional win, Elvira made a mess of the 18th when found sand with his second, flew the green with his third up against the stands and took a drop which he chunked into the bunker in front of him, splashed out, missed the putt for a double bogey six, and with his head in his hands saw his dreams of winning dashed.

McIlroy carded a closing 68 to move within 308 points of Patrick Reed at the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings, with Scott also carding a 68 and Rai signing for a 66 all T2 with Elvira on -15

Major winners Matt Fitzpatrick and Ryan Fox finished three shots off the lead -14 alongside Joost Luiten and Filippo Celli.
