The International Swing section of the DP World Tour season continues with a new event, the Bahrain Championship at Royal Golf Club, marking the first time the circuit has visited the country for 13 years.

The purse of $2.5m is identical to two previous tournaments in 2024, the Dubai Invitational and last week’s Ras Al Khaimah Championship. The winner earn $425,000 while the runner-up will take home $275,000.

Like last week’s tournament, the payouts of over $100,000 will be available to those finishing in the top five, while there’s at least $50,000 available for anyone finishing in the top 10.

While those figures are substantial, the prize fund for the tournament is significantly less than the other two big men’s tournaments this week. The PGA Tour’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am has a $20m purse, of which the winner will claim more than the total payout for the Bahrain Championship, $3.6m. In Mexico, LIV Golf Mayakoba has an even larger purse, at $25m, with the winner earning $4m.

There are 3,000 Race to Dubai points available in Bahrain, while players are also competing for a bonus of $200,000, to be awarded at the end of the International Swing in March.

Below is the prize money payout for the inaugural Bahrain Championship.
