This week, the DP World Tour's second-ever Bahrain Championship is taking place at Royal Golf Club and it's South Africa's Dylan Frittelli who defends the title.
When the Wentworth-based circuit returned to the Kingdom of Bahrain for the first time in more than 12 years last season, Frittelli triumphed by two strokes to secure his third DP World Tour title and an impressive winner's check.
Fast forward a year, and the overall prize purse of $2.5 million has remained the same, so whoever comes out on top will bank not far off half a million dollars. The player in second will earn $275,000 while anyone inside the top-five is in line to bring home at least six figures.
Unlike two weeks ago when the $9 million Hero Dubai Desert Classic out-paid the PGA Tour's American Express, the DP World Tour event in Bahrain is very much in second place compared to the concurrent AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am prize money payout - which puts up $20 million in total.
Nevertheless, European-based players will be desperate to finish as high up on the leaderboard as they can in order to pick up as many of the 3,500 Race To Dubai points and the 1,000 Ryder Cup points as possible. Plus, golfers are 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 2025 Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The 2025 Bahrain Championship?
In a very similar field to the Ras Al Khaimah Championship last week, Patrick Reed once again headlines the field at the Bahrain Championship.
With just a few days until the 2025 LIV Golf League campaign begins in Riyadh, the lifetime member on the DP World Tour will continue to tune up for the PIF-backed circuit in the Middle East, hoping for an improvement on the T8th result he secured at Al Hamra GC last time out. In a similar position is Fireballs GC's David Puig, who ended third.
The two LIV golfers will be joined by three-time Major winner and former Ryder Cup captain, Padraig Harrington as well as 2016 PGA Championship victor and two-time Ryder Cup player, Jimmy Walker. In addition, defending champion, Dylan Frittelli has been included.
Ras Al Khaimah champion, Alejandro Del Rey leads a group of DP World Tour winners this season, with five of the seven victors so far going again in Bahrain. Elvis Smylie, Ryggs Johnston, Johannes Veerman, and John Parry will hope for repeat success while Shaun Norris and Tyrrell Hatton have opted for a week off.
