The DP World Tour returns to the Middle East for the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club. This week represents the final counting event in the regular season for the DP World Tour Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex, and the last opportunity for players to earn their playing rights for the following season. Ewen Ferguson returns this week to defend his maiden DP World Tour title. The Scot claimed an eagle and a birdie in his last two holes at the 2022 edition to claim his first professional win. He’ll be feeling confident after managing two top tens in his last four starts which puts him on track to qualify for DP World Tour Championship next month. Matt Wallace and Aaron Rai have both made the journey to the Middle East from playing in the ZOZO Championship on the PGA TOUR, with the pair ranked 62nd and 65th respectively out of the 116 who qualify for next year. Englishman Richard Mansell, who lies 58th on the standings, is aiming to continue his recent good form and boost his return to the season finale by making it into the top 50 for Dubai. Others to look out for are Rasmus Hojgaard, Yannik Paul and Robert MacIntyre.
