The DP World Tour’s regular season is now over and the fates of multiple players have been decided.
Not only were a small group of pros trying to win the tournament in the short-term, but many others at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club were fighting for strong results in order to save their long-term future.
In the end, South Korea’s Junghwan Lee won the Genesis Championship by three strokes and consequently clinched a DP World Tour card as well as a spot in the first round of the Playoffs next week.
Elsewhere, a handful of players produced minor miracles to achieve their own dreams, whether it be retaining their playing privileges or sneaking back into the leading batch of candidates for a PGA Tour card.

WHICH PLAYERS LOST THEIR DP WORLD TOUR CARDS?
There were 10 players who missed out on securing their DP World Tour cards by 50 points or fewer after the dust settled at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.

However, for the other seven, it was a case of missing a golden opportunity with T30th securing 40.68 RTD points and a top-10 garnering a season-defining 106.35 points.
South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli was the closest to saving his full-time card, though, missing out by less than three whole points. He ended the season on 479.26 points, with Sweden’s Niklas Lemke on 482.17 above the dotted line.
