Immediately after Matt Fitzpatrick holed the final putt of the DP World Tour's 2025 season, there were a couple of incredibly large pots of money to be shared out.
Fitzpatrick defeated Rory McIlroy in a play-off to win the DP World Tour Championship for a third time and pick up the $3 million winner's check from a total prize pool of $10 million at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth Course.
But, not only did the Englishman significantly boost his earnings via a victory in the campaign finale, Fitzpatrick rocketed himself up the season-long Race To Dubai rankings as well.
It wasn't anywhere near enough to deny McIlroy a seventh Race To Dubai title, but Fitzpatrick's late burst helped the 2023 US Open champion gatecrash the Race To Dubai top-10 and collect part of the circuit's bonus pool payout - set aside for the leading pros who have played at least four DP World Tour events and the DP World Tour Championship.
The European circuit's Race To Dubai bonus pool is not like the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup bonus pool payout - which totals a mammoth $100 million across three weeks.
Instead, the DP World Tour shares out a $6 million total among the leading 10 players, so it's more like the PGA Tour's Comcast Business Tour Top 10 which is decided prior to the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
As Race To Dubai champion in 2025, McIlroy collected a bonus check of $2 million. Meanwhile, Marco Penge - who finished almost 2,000 points behind McIlroy in second - earned $1 million.
Fitzpatrick's last-gasp heroics secured him an additional $750,000 in what proved to be an extremely lucrative week for the Englishman as he ended the season in third ahead of Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood and Robert MacIntyre.
The final four players in the Race To Dubai's final top-10 standings all earned PGA Tour dual status this term, making it a very happy week indeed.
Laurie Canter, Kristoffer Reitan, Adrien Saddier and Alex Noren each picked up a six-figure payout as well as the chance to play on US soil in 2026.
After the dust settled and the rankings were finalized, below is the complete payout breakdown for the 2025 Race To Dubai bonus pool.
