Ras Al Khaimah Championship Prize Money Payout 2024

Daniel Gavins takes a tee shot at the 2023 Ras Al Khaimah Championship .

After the glamour of the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of the year, the Dubai Desert Classic, when some of the biggest names in the game competed for a purse of $9m, it's back down to earth for the circuit this week with the Ras Al Khaimah Championship at Al Hamra Golf Club in the United Arab Emirates.

This is the third edition of the event, which began in 2022 with a $2m purse as Nicolai Hojgaard claimed victory. There was an identical prize fund in 2023 for Daniel Gavins’ win, but this year, there’s an increase to $2.5m.

That means that the winner will earn $425,000 while the runner-up will bank $275,000. Overall, any player finishing in the top five will claim over $100,000 while there’s at least $50,000 available for anyone finishing in the top 10.

As the latest tournament of the International Swing, there is also the incentive of trying to finish top at its conclusion in March. The player who achieves that will earn an extra $200,000.

Like many DP World Tour events so far this season, there are also 3,000 Race To Dubai points on offer.

Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.

Former LIV Golf players Adrian Otaegui and Laurie Canter appear too, while three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington also participates. Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick, who secured his playing privileges for the year thanks to the Challenge Tour’s Road to Mallorca and some impressive DP World Tour starts, also plays along with compatriots Eddie Pepperell and defending champion Daniel Gavins.
