BMW PGA Championship Prize Money Payout 2024
Rory McIlroy headlines as some of the world's best players head to Wentworth for the DP World Tour's flagship event
The flagship event of the DP World Tour season comes from Wentworth in England with the BMW PGA Championship.
The tournament is also the third of five Rolex Series events this season following the Dubai Desert Classic and the Genesis Scottish Open.
Like those two occasions, there is a purse of $9m this week, as well as 8,000 Race to Dubai ranking points on offer as the competition to reach the two season-closing DP World Tour Playoffs continues.
While only the top 70 in the standings will achieve that ambition, anywhere in the top 110 will be enough to earn players a DP World Tour card for next season, meaning there is plenty to play for aside from the significant financial reward on offer this week.
In 2023, Ryan Fox won the title, beating Tyrrell Hatton and Aaron Rai by one shot to bank $1.53m in prize money, and this year’s winner will earn the same sum, with the runner-up in line for a $990,000 payout.
Below is the prize-money payout for the BMW PGA Championship.

Last year’s winner was Ryan Fox, and he defends his title this week, while other previous winners in the field include 2022 champion Shane Lowry, 2021 victor Billy Horschel and Danny Willett, who won the event five years ago. McIlroy is also a former champion having won it in 2014.
US Open champions Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose are also playing, along with 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott.
Seven-time DP World Tour winner Tommy Fleetwood plays too, while Robert MacIntyre, who won the previous Rolex Series event, the Genesis Scottish Open, is also in the field.
How Much Does The Winner Of The BMW PGA Championship Get?
The prize-money payout for the 2024 tournament is identical to the sum offered a year ago - $9m. Of that, the winner will receive $1.53m while the runner-up is in line for a payday of $990,000.
Where Is The BMW PGA Championship Played?
The BMW PGA Championship is played at Wentworth in Surrey, England, its permanent home since 1984. Wentworth, which sold to a Chinese investment company in 2014, is known for its lush parkland setting, with its West Course, where the tournament is played, featuring a huge variety of trees including pine, birch and oak lining its fairways.
