Henrik Stenson sealed his second Race to Dubai title in four seasons with a strong finish to the DP World Tour Championship.
Stenson was one of four players who came in to the season finale still with a chance claiming top spot, with Danny Willett, Alex Noren and Rory McIlroy the other hopefuls.
The Open Champion posted a final-round 65 at Jumeirah Golf Estates to earn a share of ninth place, meaning the Swede ends the season as European No 1 for the first time since 2013.
Stenson finished 413,474 points clear of nearest challenger Willett, who led the standings for a large chunk of the season but struggled in the closing stretch of the season.
The Masters champion needed a top-five finish to have any chance of leapfrogging Stenson into top spot, but struggled to a tie for 50th in Dubai.
Matt Fitzpatrick moved up 21 places into sixth spot after birdieing the final hole to claim a one-shot win over Tyrrell Hatton, who overtook McIlroy into fourth position.
McIlroy, who had to retain his DP World Tour Championship crown to top the Order of Merit for the fourth time in five years, joined Stenson five strokes off the pace.
Bernd Wiesberger moved inside the top 10 and claimed a share $5million Bonus Pool with a tied-fourth showing in Dubai, with BMW PGA Champion Chris Wood dropping into 11th spot.
Noren, a four-time winner in 2016, secured a $600k bonus for claiming third spot, with Branden Grace, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Louis Oosthuizen also finishing inside the top 10.
