Catalunya Championship Purse, Prize Money And Field
Richard Bland is among the players competing at the tournament in Gerona
The European Tour (rebranded the DP World Tour for sponsorship reasons) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Now, it returns to the city where it all began in 1972 with this week's inaugural Catalunya Championship at Gerona’s PGA Catalunya.
None of the world’s top 50 players are in the field, but there are still some noteworthy entrants. Pablo Larrazabal, fresh from his seventh DP World Tour title at last week’s first ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, will appear as he aims for back-to-back wins. The man Larrazabal edged out to win by a shot last week was compatriot Adrian Otaegui. and he'll also play with the hope of going one better this week.
Others to look out for include Scot Ewan Ferguson, who claimed his maiden DP World Tour Title at the Qatar Masters, 2018 Ryder Cup-winning captain Thomas Bjørn and Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard. Perhaps the most significant addition to the field from last week's tournament, though, is Englishman Richard Bland, who will be aiming to take some positive form into next week's defence of his British Masters title.
PGA Catalunya was ranked 18th in the Top 100 World Resorts of 2021 and No.1 in Spain. The resort's par-72 Stadium Course, where this week's action takes place, has also recently benefitted from a €1m upgrade, with redesigns of the layout and bunker surrounds, the addition of Mediterranean-friendly fescue grass around the greens, and a new irrigation system.
The purse is identical to last week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain - $2m, meaning the winner will earn $330,330, with the runner-up gaining $220,220.
There's a full breakdown of the purse and field below.
