Race to Dubai leading duo Eugenio Chacarra and Rory McIlroy will head out together in the final group when the season-ending DP World Tour Championship gets under way on Thursday.
Spaniard Chacarra tops the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World after securing three wins in 2026 but Masters champion McIlroy cut the gap by finishing third at last week's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship.
With Chacarra leading by 533.93 points and 2,000 on offer to the winner, the pair are the only two players who know a win this week will hand them the Harry Vardon Trophy.
That also means McIlroy must finish in the top four - something he has done eight times including three wins over the earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates - to have any chance of taking season-long glory for a record-equalling eighth time and he and Chacarra will get started at 12.40pm.
All groups go off the first in pairs in reverse Race to Dubai Order, meaning Patrick Reed and Casey Jarvis tee off at 12.30, Jon Rahm and Aaron Rai at 12.20 and Jayden Schaper and Ryan Fox at 12.10.
All of those players, plus Daniel Hillier, can still mathematically win the Race to Dubai, with the Kiwi starting alongside Jacob Skov Olesen at midday.
Dutchman Joost Luiten will hit the opening tee shot at 08.25am.
