Robert MacIntyre may have just played his last event of the season due to the ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East. The top Scottish golfer finished tied for sixth at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews on Sunday, having claimed the title the previous year.

At 30 years old, MacIntyre has opted out of this week's Spanish Open and currently has no plans to participate in events in India or South Korea before the DP World Tour season-ending tournaments in Abu Dhabi and Dubai scheduled for November.

He stated, "This is potentially the end of my season right here," reflecting on his performance at the Dunhill Links.

MacIntyre expressed the importance of waiting to see how the situation in the Middle East evolves before making any decisions regarding future tournaments. He noted:

• Matt Fitzpatrick, another Ryder Cup player, also shares concerns about traveling to the region.
• In contrast, Rory McIlroy, the world number two, confirmed his intention to compete in both upcoming events.

MacIntyre added, "I feel like it's been a good year. It's been a learning curve, trying to manage life outside of golf and life on the golf course. It's been a great year." He remains uncertain about the cut-off date for participation but emphasizes his commitment to monitor the situation closely before making any final decisions.
