World number four Paul Casey returns to The Race to Dubai this week following the rib injury which has ruled him out since The Open Championship at Turnberry in July.
The injury has meant the Englishman has slipped from first to fourth in The Race to Dubai money list, but he is aiming to get his season back on track at the World Match Play Championship in Spain.
“This is the longest I’ve been out of action and I am really eager to get back out on the course,” said Casey.
“I’ve listened to, and followed, all the medical advice and my first goal is to try to win The Race to Dubai, starting with the Volvo World Match Play.”
Following a break in 2008, the tournament debuts at the Costa del Sol’s Finca Cortesin Golf Club having previously been held at Wentworth, England since its inception in 1964.
The Race to Dubai list’s top four – leader Lee Westwood of England, Germany’s Martin Kaymer, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and Casey – are all in action and have been kept apart in the 16-man line-up.
World number seven Henrik Stenson and Colombian Camilo Villegas, who will also be in the running at the Dubai World Championship held at Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 19-22, are also in the field.
