The race to…nowhere?

<p>Max Homa&rsquo;s maiden international victory in South Africa was enough to hand Rory McIlroy an insurmountable lead in the season standings and secure his fifth Race to Dubai championship. An impressive feat, but it feels all so hollow.</p> <p>McIlroy is the poster boy of European golf, and he&rsquo;s had a stellar season. Two wins in his nine starts is an impressive win rate &mdash; this week will be start number 10.</p> <p>But let&rsquo;s dwell on that for a second. Nine starts. It does a disservice to the tour, and to the pros who grind it out year-round, from Scotland to Kenya, Sun City to India, and the rest. Adrian Meronk, has had a decent season. He sits third in the Race to Dubai, yet he&rsquo;s played 23 times for example. Some of those teeing it up have committed themselves to over 30 events this year. For the champion to have played in only nine is futile.</p> <p><a href="https://bomdiagolf.medium.com/the-race-to-nowhere-26bee93f2577"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
