BMW PGA Championship 2026 Prize Money Payout: Full Purse Breakdown

 

The PGA Tour is back in action this week after a two-week break, but the BMW PGA Championship 2026 Prize money is also attracting plenty of attention with a strong field from DP World Tour stars.

The 2026 BMW PGA Championship features the winners of the 2026 Masters, 2026 PGA Championship and 2026 Open Championship, making it one of the biggest events on the DP World Tour calendar.

The BMW PGA Championship is one of the DP World Tour’s flagship tournaments. First played in 1955, the event is held every September at Wentworth Club in Surrey, England.

The tournament should not be confused with the BMW Championship, which is part of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs. Despite sharing the BMW name, the two are separate events.

Alex Noren returns to defend his title, while several recent champions are also in the field, including Ryan Fox, who won in 2023, Shane Lowry, the 2022 champion, and Tyrrell Hatton, who won in 2020.

Players are also competing for 8,000 Race to Dubai points and 2,000 European Ryder Cup points.

In this guide, we cover the BMW PGA Championship 2026 prize money, winner’s payout, full prize money breakdown, purse distribution, and how much each player earns based on their finishing position.
