This is effectively the European Tour Money List race, key to winning, is form in the four WGC and four Grand Slam events, what happens outside of those is largely, although not entirely, irrelevant. Last year South African Branden Grace won four times on the European Tour and also posted two high finishes in big money events, yet couldn't break into the top five in the Race to Dubai and trailed winner Rory McIlroy by 3m euros, despite playing 11 events more.
