The Swede won America's season-ending FedEx Cup showpiece back in September before today's victory in the European Tour's last event of the year - the DP World Tour Championship - guaranteed him first place in the cumulative Race to Dubai standings.
Stenson shot an eight-under-par final round of 64 to finish on 25-under overall at Jumeirah Golf Estates, six shots clear of his nearest competitor and Ryder Cup teammate Ian Poulter (66).
The 37-year-old almost finished in astonishing fashion when his 3-wood approach to the par-five 18th tracked towards the hole but fell a few inches short, denying him an unheard-of albatross.
Stenson's 2,379,195 points in the Race to Dubai standings saw him finish ahead of Poulter, Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell and Jamie Donaldson in the overall European Tour rankings.
