The DP World Tour heads to Belgium for the Soudal Open at Rinkven International Golf Club.
The tournament is in its fourth year since reverting from the Belgian Knockout, an event combining strokeplay and matchplay. Nowadays, it's a more conventional 72-hole strokeplay tournament, and this year, it has a record purse of $2.75m, an increase of $250,000 on the 2024 event.
That was won by Spaniard Nacho Elvira, who held off Thomas Pieters for the title and the $425,000 first prize. This year's winner will earn $467,500, with the runner-up in line for prize money of $302,500.
The tournament is the second of six European Swing events, where players compete to win the swing and claim a bonus $200,000 as well as a place in each of the lucrative Back 9 tournaments. That's currently led by Martin Couvra following his win in the Turkish Airlines Open.
Below is the prize money payout for the Soudal Open.
