Irish Open Prize Money Payout 2026

What an Irish Open that was, and especially for Ireland's Shane Lowry. The 39-year-old hadn't won an individual title for four years but put any demons he was suffering from to bed with an emphatic 11-shot victory at Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg.

Lowry, seemingly playing a different course to his rivals, finished on 23-under-par thanks to rounds of 67, 62, 65 and 63 - the second of which was a course record.

As a result of that new low score, the eight-time pro winner earned a bonus of $30,000. But that's not all he earned.

Lowry takes home 835 Race to Dubai points and - crucially - 250 Ryder Cup qualification points as well as more than $1 million from a total pot of $6 million.

But, given this is the joint-highest payout of the DP World Tour campaign outside of the Majors and Rolex Series events, the consolation prizes for those missed out are certainly not to be sniffed at.

The two players who ended in second place, Joaquin Niemann and Patrick Reed picked up more than $500,000 each while Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen scooped $300,000 after finishing fourth.

All those who finished T11th or better also claimed a check for more than six figures, not that they will see anywhere near that figure due to various factors.

Below is the complete prize money payout for each player at the 2026 Irish Open.
