The DP World Tour has taken advantage of the lack of competition activity this week to inform its members of very good news regarding the money players earn in each tournament. Specifically, it is about a significant increase of 2,100,000 dollars in the prize pool across eight of the upcoming championships. With this increase, the total figure reaches 153 million in 2025, the commitment that had been made to the players. These improvements are already reflected on the official DP World Tour website.
The increases have occurred as follows:
– Volvo China Open: from 2,500,000 to 2,550,000 dollars (+50,000)
– Hainan Classic: from 2,500,000 to 2,550,000 dollars (+50,000)
– Turkish Airlines Open: from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+250,000)
– Soudal Open: from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+250,000)
– Austrian Alpine Open: from 2,000,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+750,000)
– KLM Open: from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+250,000)
– BMW International Open: from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+250,000)
– Danish Golf Championship: from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 dollars (+250,000)
In this way, the minimum prize pool on the DP World Tour between the European Swing and the Closing Swing will be 2,750,000 dollars. According to TenGolf, this extra amount added to the prize pools comes from the PGA Tour and its alliance with the European circuit.
From the Back 9 onwards, the prize figure increases and the minimum will be 3,250,000 in the Omega European Masters, Open de España, and Open de France, while the maximum will be at the BMW PGA Championship in Wentworth with nine million dollars. In the Back 9 calendar, there is still one tournament to be confirmed, which will almost certainly be held in India, at the classic Delhi Golf Club. It will be the penultimate of the regular season, just before the Genesis Championship in Korea.
At the end of the regular season, the best in the Race to Dubai will compete in the Abu Dhabi Championship, with a nine million prize pool, and the DP World Tour Championship which will distribute ten million, the highest prize pool of the European circuit’s regular season.
