Tyrrell Hatton eased to victory at the DP World Tour Championship, but how much money did he earn?. | Credit: Getty Images
The DP World Tour season had a memorable finale at Jumeirah Golf Estates’ Earth Course in Dubai.
There were two titles on the line at the DP World Tour Championship – the tournament itself and the Race to Dubai.
In the latter, Rory McIlroy pipped Eugenio Chacarra to equal Colin Montgomerie’s eight wins in the season-long race, a battle that came down to the 72nd hole when Victor Perez failed to hole out for an albatross, which would have handed Chacarra the title.
While there was uncertainty over the destination of the Harry Vardon Trophy until the very end, the winner of the DP World Tour Championship was much clearer-cut.
Tyrrell Hatton eased to victory, beating McIlroy by five shots for his ninth DP World Tour title and first of the season.
Hatton may have had to wait until the final tournament of the season to add to his tally, but as far as his bank balance is concerned, he couldn’t have timed the win any better.
That’s because the biggest purse of the DP World Tour season was on the table in Dubai – $10 million.
Thanks to his victory, Hatton claims $3 million, with McIlroy earning $1.27 million for finishing solo second.

Because the final Race to Dubai rankings were also settled at the tournament, even more money was at stake.
The top 10 in the final ranking share a Race to Dubai bonus payout of $6 million.
As a result, McIlroy boosts his earnings by $2 million, while Chacarra claims $1m for placing runner-up in the rankings, on top of the $645,000 he banked for finishing T3 alongside Oliver Lindell at the tournament.
Hatton’s win also took him inside the top 10 of the Race to Dubai rankings for the first time this season. He finished third, giving him an extra $750,000.
Below is what each player won at the DP World Tour Championship, and the earnings of the players who finished in the top 10 of the Race to Dubai rankings.
