ISPS Handa Championship Prize Money Payout 2024

The DP World Tour season resumes with the ISPS Handa Championship, the first regular event since the Hero Indian Open, which was held the week before The Masters.

Japanese star Keita Nakajima claimed his maiden DP World Tour win on the subcontinent, and he’s not passing up the opportunity to appear in his homeland this week as he looks to add to his haul of $382,500 from that event.

The tournament, which is co-sanctioned by the Japan Golf Tour, takes place at a new venue, Taiheiyo Club's Gotemba Course. The parkland course boasts the stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji. While that ensures it will be easy on the eye, another attractive element of the tournament is its increased purse.

In 2023, players competed for a share of the $1.5m purse, with Lucas Herbert eventually claiming a tense playoff win for a $250,000 payout. However, this year, the prize fund has being boosted to $2.25m, and like the Hero Indian Open, the winner will earn $382,500.

There is considerably more to play for than that, though. Like the other Global Swings phases of the DP World Tour season, the Asian Swing has a separate $200,000 prize for its champion.

The winner of the Asian Swing will also earn qualification to each of the season’s Back 9 events, as well as the second of the season’s Rolex Series events, the Genesis Scottish Open. The top three in the Asian Swing standings after the Volvo China Open will also gain slots at the second Major of the year, the PGA Championship.

Currently, Nakajima, Jesper Svensson and Kiradech Aphibarnrat are in line for those coveted places, and with each of them in this week’s field, they will be keen to consolidate their positions, as well as accumulate Race To Dubai points and Official World Golf Ranking points.

Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 ISPS Handa Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The ISPS Handa Championship?

Lucas Herbert, who won last year’s event, is not in the field as he has joined LIV Golf and is therefore competing in its Adelaide event this week. However, there are still some notable names appearing as well as the aforementioned Nakajima, Svensson and Aphibarnrat.

The highest-ranked player in the field is World No.22 Matthieu Pavon, and he will surely be confident of success, particularly after an excellent T12 at The Masters.

PGA Tour star Christiaan Bezuidenhout also plays, along with the recent winners on the DP World Tour, Bahrain Championship victor, Dylan Fritelli, Jordan Gumberg, who claimed victory at the SDC Championship, and Jonsson Workwear Open champion Matteo Manassero.

There are also over 40 Japanese stars in the field, including Ryo Ishikawa, who has three wins at the course.
