The DP World Tour heads to India for the second event of the Asian Swing section of the season at DLF Golf and Country Club.
Last year, German Marcel Siem won his first DP World Tour title in over eight years with a one-shot victory over compatriot Yannik Paul to claim $340,000 of the $2m payout.
Siem is not defending his title at this week’s event, but there is a place for Paul, who is looking for his second DP World Tour win after victory at the 2022 Mallorca Golf Open.
If he achieves it he will benefit from an increased purse at this year’s event, with the prize fund standing at $2.25m – a record for the tournament. Of that, the winner will claim $382,500, while the runner-up will bank $247,500.
As with the Opening Swing and International Swing that came before the latest phase of the season, the winner of the five-event Asian Swing will collect a bonus $200,000 as well as entry to the Genesis Scottish Open and each tournament in the Back 9 section of the season, which will offer increased Race To Dubai points. This week, there are 3,000 Race To Dubai points up for grabs, so there's plenty to play for at India's national open.
Below is the prize money payout for the Hero Indian Open at DLF Golf and Country Club.
