With snow flying all around us this 2018 gold season "kinda" comes to an end this weekend in Dubai for the European Tour and Naples, Florida. for the LPGA.
Not to confuse you but the wrap around season on the PGA Tour continues in Sea Island, Georgia with the RSM Classic where six Canadians tee it up. 2016 champion Mac Hughes, David Hearn, Roger Sloan, Adam Svensson, Ben Silverman and Corey Connors.
Congratulations albeit a tad tardy to Brad Fritsch who made it through to the final stage of the Web.com Tour Q School (Dec 6-9 Chandler Arizona). He just made it on the number and will be joined by Seann Harlington, Micheal Gligic and Albin Choi.
Adam Hadwin shot in the 60's all week to finish T10 in Mexico at the Mayakoba Resort where Matt Kuchar turned a working family holiday into a $1.6m payday with his first win in 3 years.
Stephen Ames had a very impressive run through the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs T15, T3, T5 to finish 21st on the Senior Circuit's money list. He was in contention on Sunday until VJ Singh went out and shot 61 to win the tournament and leave Bernhard Langer with his 5th Charles Schwab Cup.
Rory McIlroy has announced that due to the re-scheduling of the Players Championship and the PGA Championship being brought forward to March and May and the BMWPGA Championship at Wentworth being moved back to September he won't be playing in European Tour events apart from the Open and WGC events for at least the first half of next year which means he will have to relinquish his membership for the season.
" Everything next year is condensed between March and August so I will take some time off after this week to get ready for that schedule in the States".
Race to CME Group Tour Championship:
After a week off, recovering from 4 weeks in Asia, Brooke Henderson goes into the LPGA season's finale ranked 3rd. Anyone of the top 5 who wins this weekend will win the Race and the $1m bonus. Ariya Jutanugarn is ranked #1. Throughout her last 4 weeks of play Brooke's putter wasn't hot. When it is, she is very hard to beat.
Race to Dubai DP World Championship:
No matter who wins this weekend's season ending tournament in Dubai, only Francesco Molinari or Tommy Fleetwood will win the Race to Dubai, and between these Ryder Cup heroes and best pals, Frankie has a clear cut lead based on the phenomenal year he has produced, including the Ryder Cup heroics, and the Open Championship.
