The DP World Tour season resumes with the first two events in China. The Volvo China Open, which marks its 30th anniversary this year, comes from Enhance Anting Golf Club in Shanghai.
There, players will compete for one of the largest purses on the circuit so far this season, $2.55m, which is a $300,000 increase on the 2024 tournament.
Back then, Adrian Otaegui claimed prize money of $382,500 for his victory over just 54 holes, but this year the winner will bank $433,500.
The event is also the penultimate in the Asian Swing section of the season, which has a separate competition, and will see the leader after next week’s Hainan Classic win a further $200,000. Currently, Keita Nakajima is leading the way, helped by runner-up finishes in his last two tournaments.
It’s not just prize money that players in the Asian Swing list are aiming for. The top three will also earn a place in the PGA Championship field, which is being held at Quail Hollow next month. Eugenio Chacarra and Richard Mansell currently occupy the other two crucial positions.
As usual, there are also world ranking points available, as well as 3,500 Race to Dubai ranking points and 1,000 Ryder Cup ranking points for the eligible European players.
Below is the prize-money payout for the Volvo China Open.
