HIGHLIGHTS:

• After finishing the 2017/18 PGA Tour season with two seconds and a tie for fourth in the three concluding FedExCup Playoff events, during which he ascended to the World No.1 ranking for the first time and claimed the FedExCup, Rose continued his strong form in Europe. The Englishman recorded another three straight top-10s beginning at the British Masters, where he played host, before a third at the WGCHSBC Champions and play-off victory at the Turkish Airlines Open over Haotong Li.

• Rose’s win in Turkey was the first successful title defence of his career and was the sixth straight top-10 and 24th from 31 starts for the 2013 US Open champion, who also regained top spot on the Official World Golf Rankings from Brooks Koepka with the victory.

• The 2016 Olympic Gold Medallist’s recent run of good form has elevated him to sixth in career earnings on both the European and PGA Tour, with Rose collecting €27,252,697 and $49,715,560 on each of the world’s major Tours respective­ly.

• Including his Olympic triumph in Rio, the South African born 38-yearold has now won at least one event around the world every year since 2010, and has won two or more titles in the same year on five occasions in the same period.
