Hero Dubai Desert Classic 2025: Purse and prize money payout as Hatton wins by one
Last updated:
How much did each player win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic?
Tyrrell Hatton claimed one of the biggest wins of his career to date, holding off Daniel Hillier for a one-stroke victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic which offered a bumper purse of $9 million.
It was Hatton’s first Rolex Series victory since the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2021 and propels the LIV Golf star to No.1 in the Race to Dubai Rankings. The Legion XIII player came through a stacked field at the Emirates Golf Club to claim the $1.53 million winner’s cheque, finishing 15-under for the tournament, with Rory McIlroy three shots adrift.
The event is the first in the five-event Rolex Series and marks a rare week in the global golf calendar when the DPWT purse exceeds the concurrently running event on the PGA Tour – The American Express. The prize fund has increased significantly in the event’s 36-year history, which boasts an illustrious roll call of champions including Tiger Woods, Serve Ballesteros, Ernie Els, Jose Maria Olazabal, Sergio Garcia, and Bryson DeChambeau.
