The BMW PGA Championship is considered the DP World Tour’s flagship event, and rightfully so given the list of past winners. Among some of the game’s best player to claim the title have been Tony Jacklin, Arnold Palmer, Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam, Jose Maria Olazabal, Colin Montgomerie and Rory McIlroy. And recent champs have also double as major winners, too, including Francesco Molinari, Danny Willett and Shane Lowry, winner a year ago at Wentworth.
Suffice it to say, joining this honor roll is something anyone would aspire to do this week, from not just a prestige factor but from the reward perspective. The Rolex Series event offers an overall prize money payout of $9 million with the winner claiming at first-place payday of $1.53 million.
Here’s the overall prize money payout for each golfer who made the cut this week at Wentworth. Come back shortly after the tournament and we’ll update this with names and official earnings.
