Final Standings: The battle for PGA Tour membership

As part of the Strategic Alliance between the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR, the top ten players on the final Race to Dubai Rankings, not otherwise exempt, have earned PGA TOUR membership for 2026.

With the final event of the 2025 Race to Dubai completed at the DP World Tour Championship, the race comes to a close.

As part of the Strategic Alliance between the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR, the top ten players on the final Race to Dubai Rankings, not otherwise exempt, will earn PGA TOUR membership for 2026. The player who finishes first on that list will qualify for THE PLAYERS Championship and two early Signature Events in the 2025 season, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational, with the reward claimed by Marco Penge.

Noren could retain his PGA TOUR card via the FedExCup standings, which would supersede his position in the Race to Dubai Rankings. If he moves inside the top 100 stateside before the end of the year, that would make the No. 11 finisher in the Race to Dubai Rankings eligible for a TOUR card – currently Daniel Brown.

There was plenty of change throughout the week, but by the end of the tournament there was just one: 2024 Road to Mallorca Champion Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen vaulted his way into the top ten, replacing Daniel Brown.
