The penultimate event of the DP World Tour, the BMW PGA Championship 2024, has delivered two days of exceptional golf. From Rory McIlroy’s clubhead breaking off to pros hitting golf balls like darts, Wentworth Golf Club’s Blue Course has provided a stage for players to showcase their skills. But what are BMW and the DP World Tour offering these intrepid golfers for their efforts?

As the third event of five in the Rolex Series, there are significant prizes on offer for the top players. The prize purse is $9 million, matching the other two Rolex Series events, the Dubai Desert Classic and Genesis Scottish Open.

Additionally, there are 8,000 Race to Dubai points available. Only the top 70 players will receive both prize money and Race to Dubai points. However, all players in the top 110 will retain their cards and be able to compete in the DP World Tour next year.

Last year, Ryan Fox earned the $1,530,000 winner’s prize, with Tyrrell Hatton and Aaron Rai finishing second, each receiving $990,000. This year, the winners and runners-up will receive the same amounts. For the rest of the positions, the prize money breakdown is as follows:

Who are the potential golfers to receive the biggest payouts in this year’s edition?

With a prize pool this large, there’s no shortage of top golfers competing in the BMW PGA Championship. World No. 3 Rory McIlroy is certainly a contender and will be looking to bounce back strong after his close second-place finish in the Irish Open. Rasmus Hojgaard, who edged out McIlroy, is also playing. Olympic medalist Tommy Fleetwood, along with Shane Lowry and Adam Scott, is in the field.

After the second day of play, Englishman Matthew Baldwin leads the leaderboard with a total of 13 under par. Niklas Norgaard Moller follows at 11 under par, while McIlroy and Matteo Manassero are tied for fourth at 9 under par.

With such a competitive field, the leaderboard is bound to shift, and many players will be cut as only the top 65 will advance to the final rounds.
