How Much Did Byeong Hun An Win At The Genesis Championship?
South Korean Byeong Hun An saw off compatriot Tom Kim in a playoff at the last DP World Tour event before the season-closing playoffs in the Middle East


Jonny Leighfield
The DP World Tour headed to South Korea for the Genesis Championship at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea this week, where players were competing for the last opportunity to reach the season-ending DP World Tour Playoffs.
Only 70 players have made it to the first of those events, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with that number reducing to 50 for the DP World Tour Championship. The identities of those who reach the playoffs will be determined by where they stand in the Race to Dubai rankings after this week’s tournament.
However, there was significantly more at stake at the event, which was co-sanctioned by the KPGA Tour. Ryder Cup ranking points were also available for European players as they try to attain automatic qualification for the 2025 match at Bethpage Black.
In addition, there was also an eye-catching purse on offer. Players were competing for a share of the $4m prize money - the largest on the DP World Tour since its flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship. Winner Byeong Hun An claimed $720,000 of that after he saw off fellow South Korean Tom Kim in a playoff.
Below is the prize money payout for the Genesis Championship based on the typical distribution.
