Ras Al Khaimah Championship Prize Money Payout 2024
There’s an increase of $500,000 for the third edition of the DP World Tour event as Daniel Gavins defends his title
After the glamour of the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of the year, the Dubai Desert Classic, when some of the biggest names in the game competed for a purse of $9m, it's back down to earth for the circuit this week with the Ras Al Khaimah Championship at Al Hamra Golf Club in the United Arab Emirates.
This is the third edition of the event, which began in 2022 with a $2m purse as Nicolai Hojgaard claimed victory. There was an identical prize fund in 2023 for Daniel Gavins’ win, but this year, there’s an increase to $2.5m.
That means that the winner will earn $425,000 while the runner-up will bank $275,000. Overall, any player finishing in the top five will claim over $100,000 while there’s at least $50,000 available for anyone finishing in the top 10.
As the latest tournament of the International Swing, there is also the incentive of trying to finish top at its conclusion in March. The player who achieves that will earn an extra $200,000.
Like many DP World Tour events so far this season, there are also 3,000 Race To Dubai points on offer.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
