BMW PGA Championship prize money: What will the 2026 winner take home from Wentworth Club?
Rory McIlroy was among the contenders at the start of Sunday’s fourth round at Wentworth
The BMW PGA Championship concluded at the prestigious Wentworth Club, with a formidable lineup of golfers vying for a share of the substantial prize money. The total tournament purse amounted to $9m (£6.6m), with the ultimate winner expected to pocket over £1.1m. Beyond the impressive paycheck, the champion would also accrue a significant 1,335 points, adding to their tally in the DP World Tour’s Order of Merit.
Rory McIlroy found himself particularly motivated, having trailed his old rival and current tournament leader Patrick Reed at the Irish Open. Reed withdrew from the BMW PGA Championship due to a hand injury, leaving McIlroy in contention, starting two shots behind the leaders as he aimed for his second title at Wentworth.
