Other Notes
Collin Morikawa withdrew from the DP World Tour Championship. The defending champion will not be able to make it due to “upcoming personal commitments”
I was looking forward to returning to Dubai to defend my @dpwtc, but I unfortunately will not make it back due to some upcoming personal commitments. Last year was such a special moment in my career and I look forward to getting back there in the future.
