Joburg Open Full Prize Money Payout 2026

Marking the second consecutive week in South Africa for the DP World Tour, the Joburg Open is taking its turn to host some of the world's best players at Houghton Golf Club.

Home of Justin Rose's first professional victory, the Joburg Open has also been won by the likes of Charl Schwartzel, Thriston Lawrence, Dean Burmester and Calum Hill, who reigned supreme 12 months ago.

Looking to follow suit at the start of the week was a talented crop of DP World Tour pros, including Patrick Reed, Jayden Schaper and Casey Jarvis - the South African hunting a remarkable three wins in a row.

All three of those players were in contention with one round to play, with Reed and Schaper T11 on eight under and Jarvis T2 on 12 under. However, it was Jarvis and Schaper's compatriot Hennie Du Plessis who led the way on 14 under in pursuit of his maiden DP World Tour title.

As for defending champion Hill, his challenge ended early after he missed the cut following rounds of 67 and 73.

The Joburg Open has a remarkable overall prize money payout in terms of its number, but the fact the 20.5 million South African Rand translates to just over $1.22 million makes it the second-smallest purse on the DP World Tour all season.

The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open offered just $1.2 million to those who made the cut at the back end of 2025, while the Australian Open was the third-lowest at around $1.4 million.

Returning to the Joburg Open, the winner is set to pick up around $209,000 while the runner-up could claim as much as $136,000 if they finish on their own. That is before various factors reduce the amount of money they really see after a tournament.

Ending the week inside the top 10 is likely to secure each pro more than $20,000 each, as well as banking them an extremely helpful pile of Race To Dubai and Official World Golf Ranking points.
