Alfred Dunhill Championship Purse, Prize Money And Field

The DP World Tour season continues with the third of four tournaments co-sanctioned with the Sunshine Tour.

This week, the action moves to Leopard Creek Country Club in Malalane, South Africa, for the Alfred Dunhill Championship. After Covid-19 restrictions led to the cancellation of last year’s tournament, local player Christiaan Bezuidenhout will attempt to emulate his success of two years ago when he beat four players by four shots to claim the title.

To repeat that success this year, he’ll need to better the performances of several high-profile players in the field, including compatriot Louis Oosthuizen. The 2010 Open winner will be desperate for a strong performance after he slipped out of the world’s top 50 for the first time since 2014 earlier this week. Nevertheless, he has an immediate chance to reclaim his place in the elite group. With the chances of making next year's Masters potentially resting on him finishing the year in the world's top 50, the pressure will be on the LIV Golf player to perform.

Several other LIV Golf players are also in the field, including another quartet of South Africans – Oliver Bekker, Hennie Du Plessis, Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace. Schwartzel has won this tournament four times, most recently in 2015, and has had some success this year, too, claiming the first-ever LIV Golf trophy at London’s Centurion Club in June. Meanwhile, 2014 Alfred Dunhill Championship winner Grace took the honours in the second LIV Golf tournament at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland, Oregon. Those relatively recent victories, plus their strong records in home-based tournaments, will leave the two confident of victory this week.

Other South Africans hoping to impress in front of their home crowd are 2016 winner Brandon Stone, Thriston Lawrence, who won last week’s South African Open Championship, and veteran former World No.1 Ernie Els, who won the tournament in 2005.

Another LIV Golf player in the field is Spaniard Adrian Otaegui, who won the Andalucia Masters in October, while Englishman Laurie Canter completes the list of players who have competed in the Greg Norman-fronted venture. 

A purse of €1.5m is on offer this week. The winner will earn €255,000, with the runner-up claiming €165,000. Below is the full breakdown of the prize money and field for the 2022 Alfred Dunhill Championship.
