European Tour Golf Betting Odds: The annual season-ending event on The European Tour International Schedule, where the winner of The 2012 Race to Dubai will be crowned, will once again take place at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. First played in 2009, when Lee Westwood took the title to be crowned winner of the inaugural Race to Dubai, the tournament sees the leading 60 players take their place in the field and will battle for the $7.5 million prize fund and $7.5 million Bonus Pool, which will be shared by the players in the top 15 places after the Dubai World Championship presented by DP World.

I think this is pretty cool; the 2012 Dubai World Championship presented by DP World will once again offer Free General Admission Tickets following the huge success of this initiative in 2009 and 2010 when over 50,000 enthusiastic spectators were in attendance each year for the thrilling finale to The Race to Dubai.

2011 Dubai World Championship Winner - Paul Lawrie happy to secure second place behind Alvaro Quiros

PAUL LAWRIE almost doubled his year's earnings with a birdie at the last for a 67 to finish second.

He earned a £528,863 payout to finish his 20th season in 18th place on the Race to Dubai and the leading money-winning Scot in Europe.

But he fell three places shy of qualifying for next year's US Open. He said: "I am disappointed not to win but it's been a good week for me.

"I had a putting lesson with Phil Kenyon earlier in the week and he indicated I was aiming a wee bit left and that I was compensating with my stroke.

"He gave me a putting mirror and I worked really hard with it. That's been the difference.

"It's been a great year for me and any time you win, as I did at the Andalucian Open, it's a good year."

The Scot will head into his 21st season next month £500,000 shy of becoming the Tour's newest £10m earner.

But while disappointed to have let victory slip to Alvaro Quiros, Lawrie arrives back in Scotland today with good reason to be pleased with his effort in his first appearance at the event.
