One of the most unique events in the golf calendar comes from Vasatorps Golfklubb in Sweden, as 78 men from the DP World Tour and 78 women from the LET compete for the trophy and prize fund of $2m.
That’s an identical figure to the 2023 tournament when Dale Whitnell cruised to the title by three shots over Sean Crocker, with Anne van Dam the highest-placed female in T3.
Whitnell’s victory was his first on the DP World Tour and it earned him prize money of $330,330, with Crocker having to settle for $220,200 and Van Dam claiming $125,000. The top three will earn the same amount at this year’s event.
As part of the DP World’s Tour’s European Swing phase of the season, the men are also competing for the chance to finish top and claim a $200,000 bonus prize after the conclusion of the BMW International Open in Germany. The winner will also qualify for the Back 9 section of the season, and will earn an exemption into the lucrative Genesis Scottish Open in July.
Below is the prize money payout for the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed.
