The DP world tour championship, established in 2009, is a golf tournament on the European tour. It is the last event of the DP World Tour Rankings of the year. Every year it is played on Earth course at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, designed by Greg Norman. However, the sponsor of the championship title is the DP World, based in Dubai.
The top 50 players in the DP World Tour Rankings are eligible for the tournament. However, one player who won’t be making the trip to Dubai is the reigning champion, Collin Morikawa. The American golfer’s fans also saw him finish at the top of the DP World Tour Rankings in 2021, but he missed out due to personal commitments this year. This has opened the door for others to conquer this year’s championship. Let’s find out more about the final event of the DP world tour.

Details of the 2022 DP World Tour Championship
This year, the DP World Tour Championship Dubai field will be headed by Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Matt Fitzpatrick. This championship is the season finale in the United Arab Emirates, which will conclude on November 20, i.e., Sunday. The venue is Golf Estates Earth Course, where this year’s winner will claim the victory.
The huge prize money amount is one of many centers of attraction. Many perks and benefits are waiting in line to be grabbed by the tournament’s winner. They will award the golfer holding the DP World Tour Championship Dubai trophy with 22 Official World Golf Ranking points. However, the availability of points will ultimately depend upon the field’s strength. The winner will also enjoy other benefits like an exemption for two-plus seasons on the European Tour, as well as an easy entry into important events.

However, the entire field of the championship will also have a total of 12,000 Race to Dubai points. The points offered are solely related to the tournament’s purse, which was quoted in USD. Out of 12,000 points, 2,000 is reserved for the DP World Tour championship winner. The players with the most season-long Race to Dubai points at the end of the tournament will reach first place of $2,000,000 million in the Race to Dubai.
Purse and prize money breakdown
The purse set for the 2022 DP World Tour Championship Dubai is $10 million. The winner will get a whopping amount of $3,000,000. According to European Tour’s prize money distribution chart, the winner’s payout must be 16.67% of the total purse. However, this time it’s 30% of the total purse.

The DP world tour works differently, and the payout differs for all the players. This time, the payout is different from the standard pay scale. The winner will take $3 million home, and they will typically distribute the remaining $7 million among the 49 players. However, the twist here is that the top five players in the Race to Dubai will be paid a bonus pool of $5 million.
Here is the prize money breakdown among the field winners of 50 players. And the absence of a 36-hole cut.
