Fox is ranked 128th in the world and 55th on the European Race to Dubai standings. (Top 50 qualify for the tour finale) It's something the 32-year-old firmly believes he will achieve.
"I've got a little bit of work to do to get to Dubai but I've got four weeks to do it and a couple of the Rolex Finals Series events in Turkey and South Africa, so last week was just a start and if I can contend over the next few weeks I can contend for Dubai," Fox said.
Those tournaments are lucrative, the Turkish Airlines Open from November 7 to November 10 carries a purse of USD$7m and the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City, South Africa, a week later, worth US$7.5 million.
Before that Fox has this week in France and next week's Portugal Masters to try to boost his ranking. And he's particularly looking forward to returning to a course that attracted worldwide attention during the Ryder Cup.
"The golf course is in fantastic shape, it's going to be a good test of golf this week, and they have kept it in great condition since the Ryder Cup. They have cut a bit of the rough down but it doesn't make it any less of a test of golf. I have played well here the last couple of years including a top 10 finish so it's a golf course I enjoy playing."
