Penge, Reitan, Li and Hatton to tee it up at DP World Tour Championship

DUBAI: Marco Penge, Kristoffer Reitan, Haotong Li and Tyrrell Hatton — all winners in the 2025 Race to Dubai — are the latest stars confirmed for the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates from Nov. 13-16.

The quartet, together with the already announced defending champion and reigning Race to Dubai champion Rory McIlroy, make up the current top five on the 2025 Race to Dubai rankings, with all five players poised to vie for the prestigious Harry Vardon Trophy when the season concludes on the Earth course.

Englishman Penge has enjoyed a breakout season, just a year after only just retaining his playing privileges with a 110th place finish in the rankings.

The 27-year-old claimed his first tour title earlier this year at the Hainan Classic, before a tie for second at the Genesis Scottish Open and another victory at the Danish Golf Championship lifted him to second in the Race to Dubai, sealed the Closing Swing title, and confirmed his place in the DP World Tour play-offs for the first time.

“It’s been an incredible season for me,” Penge said. “To go from just keeping my card last year to winning twice and now being right up there in the Race to Dubai is something I could only have dreamed of. To have the chance to compete for the Harry Vardon Trophy in Dubai is really special, and I’m looking forward to finishing the season on such a big stage.”

Reitan, who finished seventh on the HotelPlanner Tour’s Road to Mallorca rankings last season, became only the second Norwegian to win on the DP World Tour with his victory at the Soudal Open this year. Four additional top-five finishes have since pushed the 27-year-old to third in the rankings as he prepares to make his debut at the DP World Tour Championship.
