ISPS Handa Australian Open Prize Money Payout 2024
The event sees some of the best men and women golfers in the world compete for a share of an eye-catching purse


For the third year in succession, the ISPS Handa Australian Open features both men and women playing in conjunction across two courses – one of the best in Australia, Kingston Heath Golf Club, and Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne.
The men’s event is part of the DP World Tour, while the women’s tournament is overseen by the WPGA Tour of Australasia.
The women’s and men’s championships will take place simultaneously with the first two rounds at both courses. Each round will be played in alternating men's and women's groups. Every player will compete in a round at each course, before those who make the cut move to Kingston Heath Golf Club for the final two rounds.
A total prize purse of AU$3.4m is available, split evenly between the men’s and women’s fields.
For the men, there is also the considerable incentive of the chance to book a place at next year's Open. The leading three players not already exempt who make the cut will guarantee their places at the Royal Portrush Major.
Below is the prize money payout for the ISPS Handa Australian Open.
