Second place finish in Dubai Hojgaard finished in solo second place at the DP World Tour Championship following a one-under 71 in the final round.
Impact Hojgaard came into the final round tied for the lead and was looking to make it a Hojgaard win at the DP World Tour Championship for the second straight year after his twin brother Nicolai got the job done last season. It just wasn't to be, as Rasmus made just two birdies, struggling most of the day with the putter. It still was a strong way to finish a great season for Hojgaard. A year ago at this event he was nipped right at the end from earning a PGA Tour card via the DP World Tour Top 10. In 2025 he was No. 1 on the eligibility list and will have full PGA Tour status for the 2025 season along with a place in two Signature Events and THE PLAYERS Championship. Hojgaard won the Irish Open along with ten other top-15 finishes in 2024. Watch out for him early in the U.S. in 2025.

Wins Irish Open Hojgaard fired a six-under 65 in the final round to win the Amgen Irish Open by one stroke over Rory McIlroy.
Impact Hojgaard picked up the biggest win of his career to this point with a sensational final round that included birdies on four of the last five holes to edge out McIlroy, who barely missed an eagle putt to force a playoff. Hojgaard now has five DP World Tour wins to his credit at age 23 and is up to second in the Race to Dubai standings. He is also in great position to earn a PGA Tour card next season, after barely missing out on the DP World Tour Top 10 Eligibility Rankings last year. Hojgaard will look to stay hot at the BMW PGA Championship.
