Abu Dhabi — The spotlight shone brightly once again this week on the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with not just golfing prowess but impressive prize money garnering headlines. The latest edition at Yas Links Abu Dhabi attracted an elite field of DP World Tour stars, all vying for a lucrative share of the tournament’s substantial $9 million purse.
This increase marks a significant jump in the event’s history, reflecting its growing global stature and the intense competition it inspires among top-ranked golfers. The coveted winner’s share saw the champion taking home $1.53 million, making it one of the most rewarding stops on the European-based circuit. Traditionally, the runner-up earns a sizeable chunk as well, walking away with $990,000 for their efforts over the four-day battle.
Beyond the top two spots, the event’s payout distribution ensures that high-performing professionals are handsomely compensated for their work. Third place claimed $560,400 while those finishing inside the top 10 all banked six-figure sums. Even a finish as low as 65th still guaranteed a payday of $18,900, underscoring the depth of the rewards on offer.
For many in the field, a strong finish at Abu Dhabi not only delivers a substantial financial boost but also provides valuable Race to Dubai points and strengthens credentials in the hopes of major championship invitations. The event’s sizeable purse further raises the stakes, ensuring the competition remains fierce right until the closing holes.
This anticipated increase in prize money comes as the sport continues to grow in the Middle East, with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship playing a pivotal role in elevating the region’s golfing profile. Attendees and fans worldwide will be watching closely as future editions aim to break even more records in both competition and rewards.
