The final event of the 2026 Race to Dubai features the leading 50 available players on the Race to Dubai Rankings, consisting of three of four 2026 Major champions and several multiple winners on the Race to Dubai season.
Alongside the players challenging for the Race to Dubai title – including Eugenio Chacarra and Casey Jarvis, the field features a host of some of Europe’s best as Ryder Cup stars Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood join Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm.
As it stands, Kota Kaneko is the only rookie on the 2026 Race to Dubai who has made it into the final field, and if that remains the case the Japanese will end this week as Rookie of the Year – joining Ryo Hisatsune as the second player from Japan to win the Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award in the last four years.
Kaneko is also one of 11 players making their debut in this event, joined by Hennie Du Plessis, Mikael Lindberg, Manuel Elvira, Freddy Schott, Casey Jarvis, Gregorio de Leo, David Puig, Yuto Katsugarawa, David Bryant and Casey Jarvis – who is also challenging for the Race to Dubai title.
