The European Swing phase of the DP World Tour season continues with its one trip to the Netherlands this year for the KLM Open.
It takes place at The International in Amsterdam for the first time since Sergio Garcia claimed the title over Nicolai Hojgaard five years ago.
Another Spaniard is the defending champion. Pablo Larrazabal claimed back-to-back DP World Tour titles after he beat compatriot Adrian Otaegui by two last year to claim a $340,000 winner’s check from the $2m purse, but there’s even more to play for here.
The overall prize fund for the 2024 edition is $2.5m, of which $425,000 will go to the winner. The player finishing second will earn $275,000.
Players are also competing for positions in the separate European Swing table, which will offer a further $200,000 to the player who wins it following the conclusion of the BMW International Open in July.
There is also the incentive of a place in the Genesis Scottish Open up for grabs for the European Swing winner as well as all the events in the Back 9 phase of the season. Spaniard Nacho Elvira is currently leading the way, helped by his win at the Soudal Open, when he held off LIV Golf’s Thomas Pieters to claim the title.
Perhaps the greatest incentive of all, though, is that the KLM Open offers two places to the leading two players not already exempt to the final Major of the year, The Open at Royal Troon.
With that, and the other incentives to play for, a fascinating four days of action is in prospect.
Below is the prize money payout for the KLM Open at The International.
