Wins third DP World Tour Championship Fitzpatrick defeated Rory McIlroy in a playoff to win the DP World Tour Championship following a six-under 66 in the final round. Impact Fitzpatrick put together a very impressive bogey-free final round to take the lead in the clubhouse. Some late heroics by McIlroy in the form of an eagle on the 72nd hole would be enough to force a playoff, however. It would be McIlroy who blinked first in extra holes and carded a bogey, while par from Fitzpatrick was good enough to give him his third DP World Tour Championship title (2016, 2020). The Englishman would close the season third in the Race to Dubai standings. Fitzpatrick's 2025 season would be one of great perseverance. He did not finish top-10 in any event until a T8 at the PGA Championship in mid-May, but his second half of the year was extremely impressive. Fitzpatrick would collect top-10 finishes in eight of his final 12 starts. He's got all kinds of momentum going into 2026.
