The DP World Tour this week features the 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai starting on Thursday at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth Course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The DP World Tour Championship Dubai marks the return of the DP World Tour to the UAE for the final event on the schedule and the second of two playoff events.
The 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai field takes on a course where scoring is certainly possible, and there's an emphasis on driving (because that was Greg Norman's best skill, and he's the architect).
Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top DP World Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai rankings.
2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai expert picks and rankings
1. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy has a presence in Dubai, and he has dominated this tournament over the years.
2. Jon Rahm: Rahm won in his debut in Abu Dhabi in convincing fashion, and he's back at a place where he has thrived.
3. Tyrrell Hatton: Hatton has a great record in the UAE, and there's no reason for that to not continue this week.
4. Eugenio Chacarra: Chacarra might be down on himself a bit after realizing last week that he's not quite on the level of McIlroy.
5. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood isn't necessarily playing better than every player in the field but one, but he's still a fabulous player.

6. Ryan Fox: Fox didn't play last week, but he did well in his last start at the Genesis Championship in South Korea.
7. Aaron Rai: Rai is trying to get to the end of the year in style, but he might be out of gas.
8. Kristoffer Reitan: Reitan should be a compelling play this week, and I think his length off the tee should be huge for him.
9. Adam Scott: Scott has committed to completing the DP World Tour playoffs, and he still has the game to compete at this level.
10. Patrick Reed: Reed may not be quite the same as he was earlier in the year, but he'll be motivated this week against a great field in a country where he already won in 2026.
