The Alfred Dunhill Championship sees the second consecutive DP World Tour event hosted in South Africa after last week's Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The Nedbank, dubbed as 'Africa’s Major', carried a large $6m purse but this week's payout is significantly less at the iconic Leopard Creek Golf Club.
There's a total prize pool of €1.4m ($1.47m), with the winner earning €255,000 ($268,000). It's an identical purse to last year's tournament, which was won by Louis Oosthuizen.
Oosthuizen is back to defend this week alongside his fellow Stinger GC LIV Golf teammates Charl Schwartzel and Dean Burmester. Schwartzel has won this event four times and was runner-up last year for the fifth time.
Other big home names teeing it up include Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Erik Van Rooyen.
The Alfred Dunhill Championship marks the fourth event of the Opening Swing phase of the DP World Tour season, which will crown its champion after next week's AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open - the final DPWT event of 2024.
The Opening Swing champion will take home a $200,000 bonus and also earn exemptions into Rolex Series events and the Back 9 stage of the season, which hosts many of the biggest tournaments.
There are also world ranking points and Race to Dubai ranking points on offer as always this week, as well as Ryder Cup points for European players in the field.
Here's how much each player is set to earn this week at the Alfred Dunhill Championship...
