    The DP World Tour heads to South Korea for the Genesis Championship at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, where players are competing for the last opportunity to reach the season-ending DP World Tour Playoffs .

    Only 70 players will make it to the first of those events, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with that number reducing to 50 for the DP World Tour Championship. The identities of those who reach the Playoffs will be determined by where they stand in the Race to Dubai rankings after this week’s tournament.

    However, there is significantly more at stake at the event, which is co-sanctioned by the KPGA Tour. Ryder Cup ranking points are also available for European players as they try to attain automatic qualification for the 2025 match at Bethpage Black.

    There is also an eye-catching purse on offer. Players are competing for a share of the $4m prize money, the largest on the DP World Tour since its flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, in September. The winner will claim $720,000.

    Below is the prize money payout for the Genesis Championship based on the typical distribution.

    Two of the biggest names in the field are PGA Tour regulars Tom Kim and Byeong Hun An, who have opted to make the trip to their homeland this week rather than play in the FedEx Cup Fall event the Zozo Championship in Japan.

    The duo will be hoping to impress in front of their home fans. For Kim, it offers a chance to bounce back after he missed the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open , while for An, this will be his first start since accompanying Kim on the International Team at the Presidents Cup.

    Another PGA Tour regular in the field is Nicolai Hojgaard, who finished T20 at last week’s Andalucia Masters . Three-time DP World Tour winners Edoardo Molinari and Antoine Rozner also play.

    Last year, Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal won the Korea Championship at the same venue, but that has now merged with the Genesis Championship, which had been a standalone KPGA Tour event. Larrazabal is in this week’s field, along with the player who won the Genesis Championship in 2023, Park Sang-hyun.
