The European Tour season draws to a close in the United Arab Emirates this week, with the traditional climax set to arrive once again at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth Course.
Over the years we've seen some of the world's best tackle the course in Dubai with plenty riding on the final outcome. This week's selection of photos includes some of those winner-takes-all moments, plus other memorable photos that showcase why Dubai is the place to be come crunch time.
1) That stare
You just couldn't keep Henrik Stenson out of the headlines last year. Not only did the Swede clinch the Race to Dubai trophy on Sunday, but he proved the ultimate showman in our closing shot of the Mannequin Challenge.
2) Eyeing up 17
Hitting the dancefloor at the Earth Course's 17th is no mean feat...
3) Family affair
How often do you get to witness your son winning the biggest paycheck of his career? Not often enough for Susan and Russell Fitzpatrick to miss their boy Matt winning the DP World Tour last year.
4) Warming up...Miguel style
Nobody does warm-up routines quite like Miguel Angel Jiménez. Not only is the 53 year old still amusing and entertaining golf fans in equal measure on the range, he's still teaching the younger crop a thing or two on the course. Vamos, señor.
5) The Rory Show
Sometimes you just have to sit back and applaud. Rory McIlroy played up to his reputation to lift the 2015 Race to Dubai title thanks to a 21 under par winning score at the Earth Course. Rounds of 68-68-65-66 ensured the Northern Irishman won the title for the third time and the second year running.
6) JD to the rescue
Jamie Donaldson took on hero status twice in 2014. His victory against Keegan Bradley in The Ryder Cup Sunday singles at Gleneagles proved one of the most indelible moments from the week in Scotland. Just a couple of months later in Dubai, he rescued a cat from a flowerbed high up on the clubhouse at Jumeirah Golf Estates. Hero.
7) All hail, Henrik
Post-round soakings can either be embraced or endured. Henrik chose the first option when he won the Race to Dubai crown in 2013.
8) Record setter
Justin Rose holds the course record on the Earth Course thanks to a stunning final round of 62 in 2012. The celebration above came on the 18th on Sunday as he made a dramatic birdie, only to finish two behind McIlroy.
9) Ace
One of the loudest cheers of the second round in 2014 was Shane Lowry's ace on the 13th. The Irishman went on to make another famous ace at the Masters Tournament two years later.
10) Farewell, Ivor
In 2015, Ivor Robson made his last official appearance as European Tour starter. Robson, whose distinguished voice will remain embedded in golf fans' minds, signed off with a painting presented to him by some of the tour's players.
