BMW PGA Championship 2024: Purse and prize money payout at the Wentworth Club

How much prize money will players receive at the BMW PGA Championship from the $9 million on offer at the DP World Tour’s flagship event?

Wentworth’s West Course welcomes another stellar field for the 2024 BMW PGA Championship where players compete for a cut of the $9 million Rolex Series purse.

The fund remains consistent with 2023’s bounty and represents the largest purse on the DP World Tour outside of the Major championships and the season-ending Tour Championship.

Last year saw New Zealander Ryan Fox hold off the English pairing of Tyrrell Hatton and Aaron Rai by a shot to claim a fourth European Tour title and $1.53 million in prize money.
