Rory McIlroy clinched his sixth Race to Dubai title by winning the 2024 DP World Tour Championship. The North Irishman finished the event at -15, two strokes ahead of the field. McIlroy remained in the top half of the leaderboard throughout the tournament, carding scores of 67, 69, 68, and 69 over the four rounds.

After securing the victory, McIlroy posed for a celebratory photo with his wife, Erica Stoll, and daughter, Poppy. With the DP World Tour Championship trophy and the Race to Dubai trophy displayed in front of him, his family joined the picture, their hands signalling six, a nod to McIlroy’s sixth Race to Dubai title.

What makes this picture special is that earlier this year, during the PGA Championship, there were reports of the couple filing for divorce. However, they seem to have resolved their differences and decided to stay together.

During the post-round interview, Rory McIlroy said that he has been through a lot this year, and so, this is a fitting end to his 2024 season.

“It means a lot. I’ve been through a lot this year professionally, and personally. It feels like the fitting end to 2024. You know, yeah, look, I’ve persevered this year a lot. Had close calls. Wasn’t able to get it done,” the 35-year-old veteran said.
