Collin Morikawa Claims DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai Title


Team TaylorMade’s Collin Morikawa rounded off a sensational year by claiming a three-shot victory in Dubai

(Carlsbad, Calif.) – Collin Morikawa outran a crowded leaderboard shooting a superb back nine 31 on Sunday to become the first American to win the Race to Dubai. With all four rounds in the 60’s (68-68-69-66) Collin’s superior ball striking and clutch putting saw him play the final 7 holes in 5-under par.

NEED TO KNOW

- In just under two-and-a-half years as a professional, Collin has already won two Major Championships and a WGC title. He can now add a Rolex Series DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai title to his trophy cabinet
