Race to Dubai Players to Watch

Collin Morikawa

Morikawa, 24, of the United States, made his Dubai debut last year and is leading the Race to Dubai this year.

“I’ve put myself in a pretty strong position to win,” he said in a phone interview. “Now, I’m trying to get prepped, just like any other event. I’m coming out trying to win. It’s going to be a great field of players. I’ve seen this course, and I know what to expect.”

Morikawa is working on “a few small things,” he said. “Some things are physical, and some things are mental. It’s just about getting a little sharper. It’s the end of the season, and sometimes you get a little too relaxed. So it’s just about staying sharp when you’re out there.”

Morikawa, who has won two majors and five tournaments on the PGA Tour, is trying to pare his approach to the game.
