AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open Prize Money Payout 2023
Antoine Rozner defends his title as the DP World Tour’s Opening Swing draws to a close
The final tournament of the DP World Tour’s Opening Swing concludes with the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, and this year’s event takes place at a new venue, La Reserve Golf Links, which makes its international championship debut.
As the final event of the Opening Swing, there will be two champions crowned at the end of the four days of action – the winner of the tournament and the leader of the swing’s Order or Merit.
Players will be competing for a purse of $1.2m at the tournament, with the winner earning $204,000 and the runner-up in line for a $132,000 windfall. The winner of the Opening Swing’s Order of Merit will also receive $200,000.
Finishing top of the Order of Merit doesn't just offer financial rewards. As long as the winner is a current DP World Tour member, there’ll also be an invite to the DP World Tour’s next Rolex Series event, which is January’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic, as well as the Back Nine phase of the season, which begins with the Betfred British Masters next August.
As with the previous five Opening Swing tournaments, there are also 3,000 Race to Dubai points on offer.
Below is the prize money payout for the AfrBank Mauritius Open at La Reserve Golf Club.

The winner of that event was 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen. The South African won his first title in five years by two shots over compatriot Charl Schwartzel, and he’ll be looking to continue that momentum here.
Laurie Canter agonisingly missed out on a LIV Golf contract in a playoff at last week’s LIV Golf Promotions event in Abu Dhabi, and he’ll be hoping to put that disappointment behind him.
Other notable names in the field include Dylan Fritelli, who won the tournament in 2017, three-time DP World Tour winner Guido Migliozzi, Marcel Siem, who won February’s Hero Indian Open and Matthieu Pavon, who claimed his maiden DP World Tour win in October’s Open de Espana.
