1. Any player who participates in the Turkish Airlines Open, WGC-HSBC Champions or BMW Masters who was ranked below the 110th Ranked Member or Ranked European Challenge Tour Member on the Race to Dubai Rankings at the conclusion of the UBS Hong Kong Open, will not have any points earned in these tournaments allocated to the 2015 Race to Dubai Rankings.  Furthermore any tournament invitations into the BMW Masters or Turkish Airlines Open are also excluded from having any points earned from these events allocated to the 2015 Race to Dubai Rankings. (Exception: If the final Race to Dubai cut off for the tournament concerned is below such player’s ranking then his Race to Dubai points earned at this tournament will count towards the 2015 Race to Dubai Rankings). NB. Non-member winners of Final Series events cannot take up European Tour Membership until the start of the 2016 Season, so will not feature in the 2015 Race to Dubai Rankings.
