DP World Tour Championship prize money: how much does the winner get?
The above stars and others will be looking to finish the 2024 season on a high and clinch the $3 million first prize, which is part of a $10 million total purse, making the DP World Tour Championship the most lucrative event of the year.
As the final event of the season, this week’s championship will also determine the top 10 on the 2024 Race to Dubai, who will share a $6 million bonus.
$2 million of that will go the winner, which will almost certainly be McIlroy, with the second-placed finisher taking home $1 million and the man in 10th $150,000.
