Ryan Fox captured the biggest title of his career in September, becoming the first Kiwi to win a Rolex Series event with a thrilling victory at the BMW PGA Championship – the DP World Tour’s flagship event. That triumph came after a terrific 2022 for Fox, who got his hands on silverware early on last year at the Ras Al Khaimah Classic, before securing a memorable triumph at the 2022 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which he dedicated to his late friend and former amateur team mate Shane Warne. Those victories helped him on his way to a career-best finish of second in the Race to Dubai Rankings.
