Race To Dubai Prize Money Payout 2024
As well as the Harry Vardon Trophy, the Race to Dubai winner will earn $2m from a $6m pool, with the rest shared among the top 10 in the standings
November’s DP World Tour Championship at the Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth Course in Dubai marks the culmination of the circuit’s season-long Race to Dubai.
There, some of the world’s best players are expected to tee it up for the chance to win the Harry Vardon Trophy, which has been given to the winner of the Race to Dubai since 2009.
To have a chance of finishing top of the standings and being named the European Number One, a player needs to have competed in a minimum of four counting events (excluding Majors) in the 2024 season.
This year, the season has been divided into three phases with 44 tournaments in 24 countries across five continents – the Global Swings phase, the Back 9 and the two-event finale, the DP World Tour Playoffs, comprising the Abu Dhabi Championship and the DP World Tour Championship.
In each of the regular Global Swings events, 3,000 Race to Dubai Ranking Points were awarded, with that increasing to 5,000 points for each of the Back 9 events. The Abu Dhabi Championship will offer 9,000 points, with 12,000 at the DP World Tour Championship.
Additionally, the first two Rolex Series events offered 8,000 points each, and the same will be awarded at the third, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Players accumulate points throughout the season, with the one on top of the standings after the final event winning the trophy.
