With just the DP World Tour Championship remaining in the Race to Dubai, Rory McIlroy is on the cusp of making history and becoming a seven-time Race to Dubai winner.<\/b><\/p>\n
McIlroy currently leads the Race to Dubai standings, but there are still two men who can stop the Northern Irishman from achieving this feat.<\/span><\/p>\n Career Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy<\/span><\/a> looks almost nailed on to win a seventh Race to Dubai title. Should he do so, he would become the second most successful golfer in European Tour history, overtaking the great Seve Ballesteros on six titles.<\/span><\/p>\n Scotsman Colin Montgomery holds the record for the most Harry Vardon trophy wins with eight, which included a seven year stretch from 1993-1999. Should McIlroy clinch a fourth successive Race to Dubai title this weekend, he will be just one away from Montgomery\u2019s record.<\/span><\/p>\n Although he is odds on to win the Race to Dubai and likely will do so barring disaster, mathematically there is still a chance that the five-time major champion can be caught.<\/span><\/p>\n There are two golfers who can still win the Race to Dubai – both of whom have never done so previously. But just who are they?<\/span><\/p>\n English golf star Marco Penge is one of only two men who can mathematically catch McIlroy to capture the coveted Race to Dubai title.<\/span><\/p>\n The 27-year-old currently sits in second place in the Race to Dubai standings, trailing McIlroy by 762.02 points. Although it is unlikely he catches the career Grand Slam winner, he still has a chance.<\/span><\/p>\n This year has been Penge’s career-best without doubt. He has won three DP World Tour events this year alone, including the Open de Espana last month.<\/span><\/p>\n He has been one of the best performances on the European Tour the entire season, and looks destined for a Europe Ryder Cup spot in the future. Perhaps even at the <\/span>2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Penge finished -20 par in a tie for ninth last week at Yas Links, and is the closest of the 52 remaining players to McIlroy in the Race to Dubai standings.<\/span><\/p>\nWho Can Stop Rory McIlroy From Winning A Seventh Race to Dubai Title?<\/h2>\n
