Luke Donald became the third winner of the Race to Dubai - after Martin Kaymer (2010) and Lee Westwood (2009) - when he completed an historic money list double to become the Number One player on both The European Tour and the US PGA Tour.

Donald won three times during the season, capturing the WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship, the BMW PGA Championship and the Barclays Scottish Open. He was runner-up on another two occasion and finished in the top ten a further five times, finishing outside the top ten only three times in a remarkably consistent season. His earnings of €5,323,400 set a new European Tour record.
