LOOK: Every winner from Dubai's season-ending DP World Tour Championship

Lee Westwood secured the ‘Dubai double’ in 2009, winning both the season-long Race to Dubai title and the inaugural DP World Tour Championship with a six-stroke triumph at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Robert Karlsson held his nerve in a play-off in 2010 to defeat Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter over the Earth course. It remains the only time the season-ending tournament has gone to extra holes to decide the champion.

Ten months after capturing the 2011 Dubai Desert Classic at Emirates Golf Club, Alvaro Quiros got his hands on the DP World Tour Championship trophy after sinking a monster eagle putt on the last to finish two shots clear of Paul Lawrie.

Rory McIlroy capped a sensational 2012 by birdieing the last five holes to win his fifth worldwide title of the year at the European Tour’s season-ending event. The Ulsterman’s terrific season also saw him top the Race to Dubai Rankings.

Henrik Stenson became the first man to win the Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup in the same season thanks to a commanding six-shot victory in Dubai. His final approach shot of the day was so good it was named the European Tour shot of the year and rewarded with a plaque from the very spot he hit the club on the 18th fairway.

Stenson successfully defended his title after he birdied the last two holes in the final round. It was the first time the Swede had retained a title and guaranteed him second spot on the Race to Dubai.

McIlroy joined the double-winner club just one year later after posting a six-under-par final round to finish one shot ahead of Andy Sullivan, which also secured a third Race to Dubai title for the Northern Irishman.

Mat Fitzpatrick became the youngest Englishman to win three European Tour events as he beat compatriot Tyrrell Hatton by a single shot. The 22-year-old’s wonderful up-and-down from a greenside bunker at the 72nd hole saw him take the record off Sir Nick Faldo.

Jon Rahm picked up a second Rolex Series title at the European Tour’s finale after coming home in 33 with three birdies for a flawless 67 to finish on 19-under to secure a one-shot success from Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Shane Lowry.

Danny Willett secured an emotional win at the 2018 DP World Tour Championship as he won his first title since the 2016 Masters. The Englishman had slipped to 462nd in the Official World Golf Ranking earlier in the year after a bad run of form but jumped back into the top 100 with victory in Dubai.

Jon Rahm became just the second Spanish player after Seve Ballesteros to finish the year as European number one after holding off a thrilling charge from Tommy Fleetwood to win both the DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai.

Fitzpatrick became the fourth player to win the event twice at last year’s edition after holding his nerve to post a closing 68 which left him 15-under-par and a shot clear of Westwood, with Patrick Reed and Viktor Hovland another stroke back.
