One of the most prestigious events of the DP World Tour season takes place at Gary Player Country Club in South Africa with the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The event is dubbed “Africa’s Major,” and there’s an attractive prize money payout to match that billing.
For the fourth successive year, players will be competing for a share of a $6m purse – one of the largest of the DP World Tour season. The winner is in line for a $1.025m payout, while the runner-up will claim $665,000.
The tournament also marks the third of the Opening Swing phase of the DP World Tour season, which will crown its own champion after the concluding AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open later in the month.
As well as a $200,000 bonus payout available to the winner, it also offers exemptions into Rolex Series events and the Back 9 stage of the season, which hosts many of the biggest tournaments.
There are also world ranking points and Race to Dubai ranking points on offer, as well as Ryder Cup points for European players in the field.
Below is the prize money payout for the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
