Next week The Final Series on the European Tour will begin again. These are the last four tournaments of the season, all with big purses and offcourse with the final tournament in Dubai (hence 'The Race to Dubai'). Last year this is where Dubuisson put himself on the map with high finishes and the first win of his career in Turkey, which gave him a top 50 OWGR place and put him in the hotseat for the Ryder Cup already.

The tournaments:

Oct.30 BMW Masters, Shanghai, $ 7,000,000 purse (2013 winner: Fernandez-Castano)

Nov. 6 WGC - HSBC Champions, Shanghai, $ 8,500,000 purse (2013 winner: Dustin Johnson)

Nov. 13 Turkish Airlines Open, Alanya, $ 7,000,000 purse (2013 winner: Victor Dubuisson)

Nov 20 DP World Tour Championship, Dubai $ 8,000,000 purse (2013 winner: Henrik Stenson)

Current 'Race to Dubai' top 10:

1. Rory McIlroy

2. Sergio Garcia

3. Henrik Stenson

4. Jamie Donaldson

5. Thomas Bjorn

6. Martin Kaymer

7. Victor Dubuisson

8. Justin Rose

9. Joost Luiten

10. Mikko Ilonen

If I remember correctly, players have to play in at least 2 of the 3 first tournament in order to be allowed to play in Dubai. So he might skip one but not two. In fact he's confirmed to play the BMW Masters.

Thanks @Wansteadimp , guess I didn't have the latest information.

I would have sworn you have to play at least 2 tournaments. Luiten had the same last year, he was injured but to secure his entry in DP World Tour Championship he hit one ball of the tee in Shanghai and then withdrawn from the tournament (so officially he did play). Myabe the rules changed, or maybe an excemption for top-10 players... can imagine you would want McIlroy to play no matter what.

Sorry for the wrong information btw @boogielicious

Congrats to Stenson.

Should be some exciting tournaments coming up. Beautiful courses, great subtle golf commentary. The more and more I watch the Euro Tour, the more I love it. The PGA's McGladrey Classic this weekend had so much filler, like a 15 minute convo with Davis Love III during the tournament. It bored me to death.

After day 1, Levy leads at -7, followed by Colsaerts, Wattel and Grillo at -6. From the big names McDowell did best at 5 (-5).

Unfort. I can't see anything live since it's all played in the middle of the night / early morning my time.

Jimenez at +5...ish. Ian Poulter and Chris Kirk are also over par.

I can't remember...is there a cut in this tournament?

Colsaerts takes the lead after a -8 today (-14 total), followed by Levy at -13. Would be quite a tournament for Colsaerts to finally play good again, after quite a bad last 1,5 years. Luiten is somewhere in the middle at -3, not an impressive start. Poulter, F. Molinari, Jimenez, Larrazabal and Manassero can be happy there's no cut this tournament.

Unbelievable what happens here. Levy gives away a 4 shot lead after shooting +6 (!) today, but ends up in a playoff after all with Siem (who bogied the last two holes) and Fisher. So we will get a surprising winner, considering the strength of the field. Luiten finishes T13, a bogey at 18 trows him outside the top 10. Jimenez shot +16 (!!!) today, including a 13 at the ninth par 4.

2 weeks ago Jimenez had eaten some bad seafood in Hong Kong and shot 75.  This week maybe he ate some bad dumplings  in Shanghai and shoots 88.  Shows how risky mainland China can be.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
