There are well over 200 players with tour cards but only room for 144 in most events. So it all comes down to a players ranking which is based on their exemption category.

Hurley and Murphy will be ranked around 180-200. So they are relying on 50 or 60 higher ranked players to not enter the events that they want to play in. This is not a problem most weeks but they will find it tough to get a game on the weeks that the American based players want to play on the DP tour

A hole in one today for Tom McKibbin. That helped him shoot a 67 and he is currently 2 off the lead.

The DP World Tour and PGA TOUR jointly announced today a new landmark partnership with the Japan Golf Tour Organization (JGTO) that will see the top three players on the JGTO Order of Merit earn membership onto the DP World Tour for the ensuing season, beginning with the 2022-23 campaign.

I hope they don’t get trampled in the stampede!

These videos are always a good watch. Robert MacIntyre with 500 attempts to make a hole in one

Players wearing shorts?? New thing on DP Tour?

Speak Now · 10-12-2022 2:42pm

Possibly more relaxed rules on Sunshine tour in hot conditions, happened a few years back as well on co hosted event in SA.

joebloggs32 · 10-12-2022 7:35pm

One to watch has to be Tom McKibbin.

Still a teenager and had top 20s in his first two events and made the cut again this week.

A solid start to life on tour for the young man. It would be great to have another Irish star competing at the top.

Dr. Bre · 11-12-2022 11:37am

Another one to watch is Christian Mass from South Africa. He’s also 19 and is currently top ten in this weeks event . Still an amateur .

joebloggs32 · 11-12-2022 1:02pm

Great closing round from McKibbin today shooting 6 under. Should be another top 20. For his first 3 events he has performed remarkably consistently. He has taken a bit of pressure off himself heading into 2023 with early points on the board.

A decent week thouh not spectacular from Hurley, currently around T30. A few €€€€ in the bank will make the Christmas turkey taste a little nicer.

2023 could be a massive year for Irish golf fans. Quite possibly 3 players in the Ryder cup team and new emerging talent to get behind, while Leona will likely be competing too for major honours.

Mantis Toboggan · 11-12-2022 1:45pm

Mckibben probably the best we've produced since Mcllroy & lowry.

The Rory comparisons are going to get tiresome for the lad. He alright hits it a mile for a young skinny fella. I'll be interested to see if he gets big into the S&C stuff and how it turns out.

joebloggs32 · 16-12-2022 2:55pm

Another cut comfortably made for McKibbin and Gary Hurley also well up there. Great for them to get early points on the board.

Dr. Bre · 18-12-2022 2:19pm

Hurley finished tied 14th

What kind of money would that bag him?

He's definitely improved alot in the last 12 months for whatever reason, maybe a late bloomer and could become a mainstay on the European tour.

Around 15k bagged, not too shabby

PokeHerKing · 21-01-2023 10:28am

Didn't realise Harrington was playing this week. He's lighting it up today, -6 thru 14, -9 overall. 3 shots off the lead.

Lowry just holed out for eagle from 150 yards to go -10. Power has struggled to kick on from his opening round he's -6.

Mushy · 21-01-2023 10:38am

Harrington 5 birdies in a row, up to -10 and 1 off lead, same as Lowry

Edit: lowry birdie so joint lead

Edit 2: 6 in a row for Padraig, also joint lead

big_drive · 21-01-2023 10:49am

Be great for tomorrow to have Lowry & Harrington both up at top of leaderboard, make it interesting

Harrington is playing some golf since he's hit 50

The distance he's got is seriously impressive for his age. In that video he gets the second longest carry, beating guys half his age

PokeHerKing · 21-01-2023 11:05am

Coverage of Harrington is very poor. With all the technology these days you think they'd be able to switch up their plan when someone comes out of the pack like this.

billy3sheets · 21-01-2023 11:06am

Ireland v Italy at the top of the leaderboard. Harrington, Lowry, Molinari, Migliozzi all on -11.

Harrington is some man! I'm sure he's an inspiration to many but particularly to any golfer who's pushing on in years.

Mushy · 22-01-2023 1:19pm

That shot by Perez is probably one of the best I've seen. Worthy of winning any tournament

fullstop · 22-01-2023 1:19pm

Perez holes out from the bunker on 17 to seal it. I’d bet good money he caught that a bit closer to the ball than intended!

Mantis Toboggan · 26-01-2023 8:24am

Not sure I've ever seen a rain delay in Dubai!

kowloonkev · 26-01-2023 8:47am

Maybe they forgot to turn off the sprinklers.

Dr. Bre · 27-01-2023 5:45pm

Monday finish confirmed

Mushy · 29-01-2023 1:58pm

Patrick Reed rule infraction coming again I think. Ball stuck in a tree on 17, he identifies ball...looks like its in a different tree though.

FixdePitchmark · 29-01-2023 2:09pm

Don't know if poor sound from Sky ...but bizarre dead atmosphere even at 18....more like golf a side thing...

CSWS101 · 29-01-2023 5:51pm

That would be sports events in the middle east for you
