Omega European Masters Prize Money Payout 2024

The second of the DP World Tour’s lucrative Back 9 events comes from Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland with the Omega European Masters.
The event follows the Betfred British Masters, where Niklas Norgaard survived a late scare to claim his maiden DP World Tour title . He was awarded $595,000 from a purse of $3.5 million for that success, and while this week’s payout isn’t quite as lucrative, it is still one of the largest in the DP World Tour season so far.
Players will compete for a purse of $3.25m, a significant increase from last year’s €2.5m (approximately $2.75m) as part of the record-breaking $148.5m available throughout the season. The winner will receive a check for $552,500.
The Back 9 tournaments also offer increased Race To Dubai points and there are 5,000 available this week as players attempt to gather as many as possible to qualify for the season-ending DP World Tour Playoffs.
It may be a year away, but qualification for the 2025 Ryder Cup is also now up and running, having begun at the Betfred British Masters, which offers even further incentive for players beyond the obvious financial perks.
Below is the prize money payout for the Omega European Masters.

Who Are The Star Names In The Omega European Masters?

However, the field still has plenty of quality, not least with the inclusion of 2022 US Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick, who is hoping for his third victory at the event. He will be joined by his brother, Alex, who will be hoping to replicate the form that saw him finish T5 at the 2023 tournament.
The Hojgaard twins, Nicolai and Rasmus, also play. Rasmus won the event in 2021 by one shot over Bernd Wiesberger, and the runner-up that year is also in the field.
Another notable participant is four-time DP World Tour winner Thriston Lawrence, who finished runner-up at the Betfred British Masters and won this event in 2022. Matteo Manassero, who has five wins on the Tour plays too, as does 2018 Open champion Francesco Molinari.

The tournament, which was established in 1923, has been held at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland since 1939 and is located at an altitude of 1,500 meters and offers stunning views over the Rhone Valley.
