These 10 DP World Tour golfers are on the verge of earning a PGA Tour card for 2025

Ten more PGA Tour cards will be awarded Sunday in Dubai.

The leading ten players, not otherwise exempt, on the season ending’s DP World Tour Race to Dubai rankings will earn PGA Tour cards for the following season.

Heading into this week’s DP World Tour Championship, three players are mathematically locked into the top 10 in the standings, meaning they’re heading to the PGA Tour in 2025. However, seven spots remain up for grabs.

This is the second year that DP World Tour golfers can earn status on the PGA Tour as part of a strategic alliance between the two tours.

Here’s a look at the 10 players who are on the verge of earning a PGA Tour card for the 2025 season via the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai rankings.
