Players, including two-time defending champion Henrik Stenson and Race to Dubai leader Rory McIlroy, look ahead to the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy, Race to Dubai leader: (On his season.)

"Yeah, it has been an interesting year. I guess all the signs at the start of the year pointed like it was going to be another great year and a year where I was going to contend and hopefully win majors. And I got off to a great start in the Middle East here - second in Abu Dhabi, winning Dubai and having a good Spring with a win at the Match Play (WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship) and another win as well, and I felt like it was going to be a really good summer. Obviously the injury happened and that knocked me back a little bit - but I feel like I've got my game back into really good shape coming into the final part of the season. And this is my last event and hopefully I can finish it off here, and if I was to win the Race to Dubai it would be a great way to obviously finish 2015."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Henrik Stenson, defending champion: (On his season.)

"Slight disappointment not to have won anything so far, so that's kind of the mission we're here on - trying to close out a win in the last one or two tournaments that I play this year to try and make it a winning season again. But regardless, I've accumulated a lot of world-ranking points, I finished second in the FedEx Cup and some other good results throughout the year. So it's been a very solid season, probably the third best season in my career so far."
