Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Prize Money - How Much Is On Offer At The Rolex Series Opener?
The DP World Tour resumes for 2022 at the star-studded Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
After a chaotic start following its re-brand in South Africa, where the Omicron Covid-19 variant first emerged, the DP World Tour returns this week for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with the event not just featuring a star-studded line-up, but also a brand new location.
Having previously been held at Abu Dhabi Golf Club since 2006, the iconic falcon clubhouse will not be on our TV screens this time around, as the competition is moving to Yas Links on Yas Island. A Kyle Phillips layout, it is based on links courses and features stunning views, across the water, of the Abu Dhabi skyline.
With a new venue announced, it is only right that a recognised field joins too, with Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and defending champion, Tyrrell Hatton, just some of the names competing at the first Rolex Series event of the year.
Offering a tournament purse of $7 million in 2020, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship saw an increase of $1 million in 2021, with the purse remaining at $8 million for 2022. The winner will secure a cool $1,333,330 for his efforts.
Check out how the $8 million pot will be distributed below.
