Magical Kenya Open Prize Money Payout 2024
The most recent DP World Tour winner, Rikuya Hoshino, is in the field as players compete at Muthaiga Golf Club
After a one-week break, the DP World Tour returns with its first visit to Africa since December with the Magical Kenya Open at Muthaiga Golf Club.
The tournament marks the sixth of eight in the International Swing section of the season, and like four of the previous five, there is a purse of $2.5m available – part of the record $148.5m on offer throughout the season.
The prize fund for the tournament is $500,000 more than was available in 2023, where Jorge Campillo earned $340,000 for his win. This year’s winner will claim $425,000, with the runner-up in line for a $275,000 payout.
Despite the increased purse, the riches on offer are still significantly less than the other big men’s tournament this week, the Mexico Open on the PGA Tour. That commands a purse of $8.1m, with the winner earning $1.458m.
There is more at stake than just the money available at the tournament, though. The race is also on to finish top of the International Swing section for an extra $200,000 payout. Whoever achieves that will also earn entry into the next of the lucrative Rolex Series events, July’s Genesis Scottish Open, as well as each tournament in the Back 9 section of the season.
Below is the prize money payout for the Magical Kenya Open.
