The KLM Open is one of the oldest and most recognizable events on the DP World Tour. It is also considered the Netherlands’ national open and its 106th edition is underway at the International for the third straight year this week. From the champion’s payout to the ranking points, there’s a lot on the line that could impact both careers and season-long standings. Here’s a complete look at the KLM Open 2026 prize money breakdown.

KLM Open 2026 prize money breakdown

The prize purse at the KLM Open 2026 is $2.75 million. There’s no increment in the purse compared to last year. The winner will take $467,500. It represents the standard 17% of the total prize money usually offered on the DP World Tour events. The runner-up gets $302,500, while the third-place finisher receives $172,150.

The table below shows the complete breakdown of the prize money:

Although it’s not a top-tier event on the tour in terms of finances, there are many other perks on the line. There are 3,500 R2DR points up for grabs at the KLM Open 2026, and these points will be distributed among those who make the cut. They will contribute to the season-long Race to Dubai Rankings, and the top rankers on the list get a chance to win more money.

Those in the top 70 get to play in the Abu Dhabi Championship, while those in the top 50 after that become eligible for the DP World Tour Championship. These events have high prize money, $9 million and $10 million, respectively.

While the R2DR points help golfers advance in the season-long rankings, OWGR points influence their global standing. The OWGR has given the field a rating of 119.16474, which is the total points available for the event. The winner will get 20.49546, which is 17.2% of the total points. The runner-up gets 12.29728 points, and the 3rd finisher gets 8.19818 points.

However, these are just projected points. What the professionals get in the end will depend on how many make the cut.
