One of the most unique events in the golf calendar comes from Vasatorps Golfklubb in Sweden, as 78 men from the DP World Tour and 78 women from the LET compete for the trophy and prize fund of $2m.
That’s an identical figure to the 2023 tournament when Dale Whitnell cruised to the title by three shots over Sean Crocker, with Anne van Dam the highest-placed female in T3.
Whitnell’s victory was his first on the DP World Tour and it earned him prize money of $330,330, with Crocker having to settle for $220,200 and Van Dam claiming $125,000. The top three will earn the same amount at this year’s event.
As part of the DP World’s Tour’s European Swing phase of the season, the men are also competing for the chance to finish top and claim a $200,000 bonus prize after the conclusion of the BMW International Open in Germany. The winner will also qualify for the Back 9 section of the season, and will earn an exemption into the lucrative Genesis Scottish Open in July.

Where Is The Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed?
The 2024 edition of the tournament is taking place at Vasatorps Golfklubb in Sweden, which is hosting its first DP World Tour event of the century. The course, located in Helsingborg, is regarded as one of the best in the country.
How Does The Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed Work?
The tournament features 78 men from the DP World Tour and 78 women from the LET competing for the same trophy and prize fund in a standard stroke play format, albeit from different tees. Since it became co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and LET in 2021, Jonathan Caldwell, Linn Grant and Dale Whitnell have been the champions.
