00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from

00:05 the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, where the season-ending DP World Tour Championship

00:12 gets underway on Thursday. Rory McIlroy has already won the race to Dubai, clinching that

00:18 title for a fifth time on the back of a season that saw him win two times in Rolex Series

00:25 events, the Hero Dubai Desert Classic back in January, and then of course the Genesis

00:31 Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in July. John Rahm, he's the defending champion, and

00:40 bidding to win this title for a fourth time. The Spaniard's got an amazing record round

00:46 the earth course here, and he's probably going to be the man to beat again in the season-ending

00:53 event that boasts a £10.5 million prize fund. Rory, he's already created a bit of a stir

01:03 this week. It was announced last night in America that he's resigned from the PGA Tour

01:09 Policy Board. He didn't want to talk about that after his practice round today, just

01:17 sort of concentrating on finalising his preparations, but he'll definitely be speaking about it

01:22 after his round tomorrow, so keep in touch with Scotsman.com and also by the Scotsman.
