Billy Horschel has confirmed he will tee it up at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai following a last-minute schedule change following his BMW Championship victory.
The American lifted the trophy for the second time at Wentworth Club after seeing off Thriston Lawrence and Rory McIlroy in a thrilling play-off.
That victory saw him surge up to third in the Race to Dubai Rankings, with Horschel in the mix to become just the second American to lift the Harry Vardon Trophy.
He will aim to climb further up the Rankings in the next few weeks in France and Scotland, before making a last-ditch attempt to finish the season as the DP World Tour’s No.1 at the DP World Tour Championship.
“Up until last week I had played more than I have in a long time. I was going to take some time off and spend some time with the family, regroup, relax and recharge the batteries,” Horschel told Flushing It.
“After this victory and moving to third on the Race to Dubai, I’m going to now go and play the last event of the year in Dubai, the DP World Tour Championship.
“The event before in Abu Dhabi, I’m not able to play in as it’s my wife and my anniversary, so we are going away to celebrate because I am usually always playing golf. We made the decision months ago to have some time away and time to ourselves.
“I played it (DP World Tour Championship) back in ’21 when Collin Morikawa won, it was such a great event and it was my first time to Dubai. But I am looking forward to getting back over there again and playing the golf course a little bit better than I did last time!”
