The final event of the DP World Tour season sees a field of 50 compete at the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course in Dubai.
Rory McIlroy leads the way in the season-long Race to Dubai rankings, and only South African Thriston Lawrence can stop him claiming the Harry Vardon Trophy for the sixth time.
As the leading two in the rankings, they are the last to head out in the first round of the DP World Tour Championship. They begin at 3.45am ET (8.45am GMT).
All the pairings for the opening round are determined by the positions of players in the Race to Dubai rankings before they will be arranged in score order for rounds two to four.
That means immediately before McIlroy and Thriston, we’ll see the players third and fourth on the list, Irish Open winner Rasmus Hojgaard and BMW PGA Champion Billy Horschel, who have a start time of 3.35am ET (8.35am GMT).
