How much prize money does the winner get at the 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship?
The Saudi Arabia tournament has been going for almost two decades, one of several in the region.
The 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship kicked off on Thursday, November 7, at Yas Links, marking the first event of the DP World Tour playoffs and putting $9 million in prize money on the line. This Rolex Series tournament, with its substantial prize pot, draws an elite field of 70 players, all angling for not only a generous payout but also those coveted ranking points for a shot at the DP World Tour Championship. It’s a big deal in the golfing world, where top players look to secure their standings as they edge closer to the season finale in Dubai.
If you‘re wondering about the spoils, which you must be given you’re here, the champion of the 2024 tournament takes home a whopping $1,530,000. Right behind the winner, the runner-up won’t leave empty-handed either, with $990,000, while the third-place finisher will see $567,000 deposited in their account. Not exactly small change for a weekend on the links.

This year, a mix of big names and major champions is set to bring some serious skill to Yas Links. Rory McIlroy headlines the lineup, joined by fellow Major winners Shane Lowry, Adam Scott, and Justin Rose.

South African Thriston Lawrence and Denmark’s Rasmus Højgaard, who sit high in the season rankings, will add even more tension to this showdown as they push for spots in Dubai.
Spanish star Jon Rahm, however, had his reasons for missing out.
