2025 Magical Kenya Open prize money: How much every player won in Nairobi
Last updated:
Here’s how the 2025 Magical Kenya Open prize money was distributed at the Muthaiga Golf Club.
The DP World Tour’s ‘International Swing’ got back underway after a one-week break at the Magical Kenya Open with another $2.5m prize fund up for grabs.
Coming out on top for his maiden DPWT title was South African Jacques Kruyswijk, holding off the challenge of his playing partner John Parry for a two-shot victory and winner’s cheque of just over €400,000.
“It’s special. I’m a little bit lost for words but this is for my family back home, my friends, my team and this is for South Africa,” said Kruyswijk.
“I’m happy that I can keep the trophy on African soil and obviously bring it back to South Africa. It makes me very proud.”
Despite being dwarfed once more this week by the sums of money on offer on the PGA Tour at the Mexico Open, the top 3 in East Africa all earned upwards of €150,000, and a healthy share of the 3,500 Race to Dubai and 1,000 Ryder Cup points on offer.
Here’s how much every player won…
