Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2022 DP World Tour Championship

Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy pose with their trophies after the end of the DP World Tour Championship. Rahm claimed the tournament title while McIlroy won the season-long points race.

Andrew Redington

To say Jon Rahm loves playing the DP World Tour Championship on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates would be the understatement of understatements. The 28-year-old Spaniard had two wins and a T-4 showing in his three previous starts in the Old World circuit’s season finale, posting a scoring average of 67.66.

It was more of the same this week, as Rahm followed up an opening-round 70 with a 66-65-67 finish to take the tournament title for a third time, outpacing Tyrrell Hatton and Alex Noren by two shots. In the process, he lowered that career scoring average to 67.5.

It was Rahm’s ninth career DP World Tour victory and fifth win in the tour’s elevated Rolex Series events. With the triumph, Rahm claimed the $3 million first-place prize money payout (€2,891,271) from the overall purse of $10 million. He also saw his career earnings on the DP World Tour rise to €21,834,859.52, the 19th player in tour history to break the €20 million mark.

There was another winner on Sunday as well as Rory McIlroy, while finishing four strokes back of Rahm in solo fourth place, earned the DP World Tour’s Harry Vardon Trophy as the season-long points title winner . It’s the third time McIlroy has won the honor, but the first in a season in which he also won the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup title.

DP World Tour Championship Prize Money Payout 2023

The stakes are high for a top-quality field as the DP World Tour season draws to a close in Dubai

DP World Tour Championship Prize Money Payout

Who are the star names in the dp world tour championship.

The 15th edition of the DP World Tour Championship once again concludes the season-long Race to Dubai at the Earth Course of Jumeirah Golf Estates .

Unlike 2022, the winner of the Race to Dubai has already been confirmed – Rory McIlroy claimed the Harry Vardon trophy a week early after another successful season on the Tour for the 34-year-old that included victories in the Dubai Desert Classic and Genesis Scottish Open.

While the prize money the four-time Major winner will receive for topping the standings for the fifth time has yet to be confirmed, the victor for the last four years has picked up $2m from the Race to Dubai bonus pool of $5m.

Last year, Jon Rahm beat Tyrrell Hatton and Alex Noren by two shots to claim the DP World Tour Championship title for the third time. That handed him a $3m windfall from the $10m purse, and it has increased to $10.5m this year, albeit with the same amount on offer to the winner.

Perhaps unsurprisingly considering its status, the event has the largest prize fund of any DP World Tour event and $1.5m more than the other four Rolex Series events over the season. 

The purse is also $2.1m more than that being offered by the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic this week, highlighting its position as one of the biggest tournaments in the calendar, even though that’s not reflected in the number of Official World Golf Ranking points available in it, which is fewer than the tournament at Sea Island .

While the winner will see a sizeable boost to his bank account, the payday for the runner-up will be considerable, too, at $1.275m.

Below is the full prize money payout for the DP World Tour Championship.

As well as the defending champion the biggest name in the field is Rory McIlroy , and many more of the world's best players are in the 50-man field, too, including 2022 US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick , who is going in search of his third DP World Tour Championship title. and the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup winner Viktor Hovland .

Rory McIlroy has already claimed the Race to Dubai title

Other big names include six-time DP World Tour winner Tommy Fleetwood and Tom Kim, whose most recent start saw him claim victory at the Shriners Children’s Open. Major winner Shane Lowry and his Ryder Cup teammates Sepp Straka, Nicolai Hojgaard, Tyrrell Hatton and Robert MacIntyre also play.

Some players also have their sights set on a PGA Tour card as those who finish in the top 10 of the Race to Dubai standings, not otherwise exempt, will claim 2024 PGA Tour exemptions.

In prime position to earn their PGA Tour cards are Adrian Meronk, Ryan Fox, Victor Perez, Thorbjorn Olesen, Alexander Bjork, Sami Valimaki, MacIntyre, Jorge Campillo, Ryo Hisatsune and Rasmus Hojgaard.

Where Is The DP World Tour Championship Held?

The DP World Tour Championship is held at the Greg Norman-designed Earth Course. The course, which has held the tournament since it opened in 2009, takes inspiration from the parkland courses of Europe and the USA. 

How Does The DP World Tour Championship Work?

The top 50 players in the DP World Tour's Race to Dubai rankings are eligible for the season-closing DP World Tour Championship, and every one of those players is competing in the 2023 edition. Like most other DP World Tour events, the action takes place over four rounds of stroke play.

He has written hundreds of articles on the game, from features offering insights into how members of the public can play some of the world's most revered courses, to breaking news stories affecting everything from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to developmental Tours and the amateur game. 

Mike grew up in East Yorkshire and began his career in journalism in 1997. He then moved to London in 2003 as his career flourished, and nowadays resides in New Brunswick, Canada, where he and his wife raise their young family less than a mile from his local course.

The 22-year-old Dane played in his first Ryder Cup in September after being one of Luke Donald 's contentious captain's picks.

It represented his third victory on the DP World Tour. He collected a cool first place prize of $3m from the $10.5m purse.

ISPS HANDA - CHAMPIONSHIP - Day two digest

Everything you need to know from day two in Japan.

There was a four-way tie at the top, Valhalla was on the mind, there were fast starts and big finishes and Matthieu Pavon was at it again on day two of the ISPS HANDA - CHAMPIONSHIP .

Here is everything you need to know from Friday at Taiheiyo Club Gotemba Course.

Leading quartet

Local favourite  Taihei Sato  fired a brilliant 62 to join DP World Tour stars  Sam Bairstow ,  Yannik Paul  and  Sebastian Söderberg at the top of the leaderboard. After round one was completed early in the morning following Thursday's fog delay, Englishman Bairstow was the man to set the target with a 64 but he would not be alone for long. Söderberg and Paul joined him at ten under with rounds of 64 and 65 respectively, before Sato completed his eight under par effort to make it a four-way tie. England's Matthew Southgate and Frenchman Tom Vaillant were then at eight under after rounds of 65 alongside Japan's Taiki Yoshida, who had three holes to complete on day three after going out in the final group.

Asian Swing battle intensifies

While Bairstow and Söderberg are both battling for the victory this week, the duo will also have other prizes on their mind. The duo sit sixth and fourth respectively on the Asian Swing Rankings with just the Volvo China Open to come after this week's event. The player who finishes top will win $200,000 and gain entry to the Back Nine events and the leading DP World Tour member (not otherwise exempt) will also qualify for the Genesis Scottish Open. Those who finish in positions one to three will also be exempt into the U.S. PGA Championship and Söderberg is keeping his eye on the prize. "You’ve got to win," he said. "We’ve got three spots and there are four events, so the winners have the front seat. You probably need a win."

Fast starts........

Playing partners Söderberg and Paul were not hanging about at the start of their rounds, with the Swede making four birdies in a row and Paul picking up shots on his first three.

..........and big finishes

Southgate birdied seven of his last 11 holes, including his final four, to get to eight under. The Englishman has been struggling with a knee injury but having made changes to his swing with 2010 BMW PGA Championship winner Simon Khan and also worked on the mental side of his game, he is ready to challenge for a first victory in his 262nd appearance. "It’s a dream to win tournaments on this Tour, so when I get a chance I don’t want to back away from it," he said. "Hopefully I keep playing like I did today. I might be able to cause a few problems on Sunday if I can play like that for the next 36 holes."

On a string Pt II

Following up on yesterday's remarkable display of spin control, Pavon was at it again.
