Ten more PGA Tour cards will be awarded Sunday in Dubai.
The top ten players, otherwise non-exempt, in the end-of-season rankings of the DP World Tour Race to Dubai 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 rankings, meaning they are headed 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 PGA Tour status as part of a strategic alliance between the two tours.
Here’s a look at the 10 players who are set to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2025 season via the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai rankings.

With a victory and two second places, Hoshino needs another finish like the one in Dubai to secure his card.

Soderberg hasn’t played strong since his second-place finish in June, but four strong rounds in Dubai could change the course of his future.
Jordan Smith
