Dubai - Rory McIlroy, who finished second to Lee Westwood in the inaugural Race to Dubai last year, believes there is plenty to play for on the final stretch before the season-ending Dubai World Championship presented by DP World at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 25-28.
McIlroy, currently 14th in The Race to Dubai, will return to European Tour action at the WGC - HSBC Champions in Shanghai next week, before playing the final two events on the International Schedule at the UBS Hong Kong Open and the Dubai World Championship.
"This year is a little different with Martin [Kaymer] so far ahead but there is still a lot of money to be played for before we get to Dubai and the guys in the top five or six will still be hoping to get some big results and catch him," said the Northern Irishman.
"We have Valderrama this week, then huge purses at the WGC - HSBC Champions and the Barclays Singapore Open, the UBS Hong Kong Open and then the Dubai World Championship itself where there is big money to be played for in the Bonus Pool. The top 15 is also important for people who want to secure places in Major and World Golf Championships next year, so there is plenty to play for."
