Rory McIlroy is the hero of the two continents

Double European success at the last 2023 race on the DP World Tour: Jon Rahm took the title of the DP World Tour Championship, Rory McIlroy took the Harry Vardon Trophy, which is the absolute first place in the order of merit of the circuit.
The Northern Irishman also won the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour. At the Jumerah Golf Estates (Earth Course, par 72) in Dubai, the Spaniard won with 268 strokes (70 66 65 67, -20) while the Northern Irishman took fourth place with 272 strokes (-16).
In the tournament, reserved for the first fifty in the order of merit, Guido Migliozzi (71 69 73 72, -3) was ranked 23rd, the only Italian in the race. Jon Rahm, a 28-year-old Basque from Barrika, took the lead in the third round and then kept the pace high in the fourth with a 67 (-5, six birdies, one bogey).

No one like him: Jon has done better than English Matt Fitzpatrick, McIlroy and Swede Henrik Stenson (with two players). He received a check for three million dollars on a prize pool of ten million.
