Race to Dubai

golferThe Race to Dubai is a golf event unlike any other. It spans the entire golf season and offers more prize money than any other golf tournament in the world. The Race to Dubai is also extremely prestigious – so much so that it replaced the European Tour Order of Merit in 2009.

The race culminates with the Dubai World Championship (hence the name, Race to Dubai), where the leading players on the European money list compete to take a slice of a US$7,500,000 Bonus Pool. The top 15 players all receive substantial cash prizes, with the biggest prize of all – worth $1,500,00 – being reserved for the overall winner.

The inaugural Race to Dubai (which was Race to Dubai 2009) involved 60 players and resulted in Lee Westwood becoming the first ever Race to Dubai European Tour Golfer of the Year. The 36 year old from England amassed more than €4 million in earnings throughout the race and in the process claimed the fourth position in the official world rankings.

Clearly, the Race to Dubai is incredibly lucrative for professional golfers, but it’s also extremely good for those of us who like to bet on golf, because it provides us with a wealth of betting opportunities throughout each and every season.

The aim of Race-to-Dubai.com is to provide you with all the information you need to bet effectively on this unique event. We do this by telling you:

As if all of that isn’t enough, we even provide you with a very useful golf betting glossary so that you can look up any golf betting terms that you’re curious about.
