Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship 2024: Prize money payout

How much of the $9 million prize fund did Paul Waring take home at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship?

The first of two end-of-season playoff events saw Paul Waring come out on top at the Yas Links in the UAE. He and the rest of the top 50 players in the Race to Dubai Rankings are off to play in the final showdown of the year – the DP World Tour Championship.

What a week it was for the 39-year-old. The Englishman shot a course record 11-under 61 in Friday’s second round. It’s Waring’s second DP World Tour win and first in six years. He moves up 43 places to fifth in the Race to Dubai rankings, meaning he’s all but guaranteed a PGA Tour card for 2025 following the conclusion of next week’s DP World Tour Championship.

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship marks the fourth stop on the five-event Rolex Series with a prize fund of $9 million to match that on offer at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Genesis Scottish Open, and BMW PGA Championship.

The purse remains consistent with 2023, with the winner set to take home a cheque for $1.53 million as received by Victor Perez last time around. The Frenchman shot a final round 66 to win by one ahead of Min Woo Lee and Sebastian Soderberg, securing himself a PGA Tour Card for 2024.

The tournament also offers 9,000 R2D points, bumped up by 1,000 from the three completed Rolex Series events so far, giving the whole field a boosted chance of making it to Dubai, where a share of $10 million will be up for grabs in addition to a $6 million bonus pool for the top 10 finishers in the rankings.

Both playoff events carry 2,000 Ryder Cup points which will provide added incentive to those Europeans with aspirations of making Luke Donald’s team for Bethpage Black.
