Following a week off, the DP World Tour has returned with the Magical Kenya Open from Karen Country Club in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

This event has been shared between Karen CC and Muthaiga CC since it began in 1967, with both layouts giving a real flavor of the country and offering fans a vastly different course to many others they see in the pro game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jacques Kruyswijk won the title last year for his first DP World Tour victory, defeating John Parry and the rest of the field by two strokes.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the South African picked up a check for $425,000 from an overall payout of $2.5 million. However, for 2026, the total prize purse has been increased by $200,000, so whoever follows in Kruyswijk’s footsteps will land over $450,000.<\/p>\n

Patrick Reed<\/a> is not in the field this week, which will be a relief to the competitors who made the cut as the American has won twice and finished T2nd in his past three starts on the European circuit.<\/p>\n

Second place at the Magical Kenya Open is worth a little under $300,000 while finishing solo third will clinch a player just over $170,000 before various takeaways reduce the amount of money they really see<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With one round to play, Angel Ayora and Casey Jarvis shared the lead on 17 under, while the defending champion was eight back of the pair in a tie for 24th.<\/p>\n

Ending the week inside the top-five places should see the respective pros pick up a six-figure pay day while finishing anywhere in the top-10 may well be good enough for a windfall of more than $50,000.<\/p>\n

Aside from financial rewards, there are 585 Race To Dubai points on the line for the champion as well as almost 16 OWGR points.<\/p>\n

At this stage, only the payouts for the top-10 are officially known, but the full prize money breakdown list will be available shortly after the tournament has been completed.<\/p>\n
