DP World Tour’s Asian Swing kicked off in Singapore this week. The Porsche Singapore Classic is the first of the five stops in Asia for the European Tour. The purse size has increased since the German car manufacturer Porsche became the title sponsor of the event with the winner’s payout also topped with Race to Dubai ranking points, DPWT exemptions, and other perks.
The winner will receive around 14.5 OWGR points. In addition, the points received here will also count towards the Asian Swing rankings. With that let us take a look at the prize money breakdown at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic.

80 professional players who complete four rounds at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore will earn DP World Tour prize money and an official money paycheck.
The $2.5 million total purse is also a $500,000 bump from last year. The winner is set to pocket $425,000, which is 17% of the total purse size, a standard system across all DP World Tour events. The first runner-up will also bag $275,000. To put things into contrast, Ockie Strydom bagged $340,000 for the top spot in 2023.

For the Asian Swing, the top point-earner will receive an extra $200,000 from the $1M reserved for Swing champions. This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event.
The 36-hole cut was made to the top 65 players and ties, meaning all qualifying players have an opportunity to move up the leaderboard in the final round. Ahead of Sunday’s final round, the leaderboard is witnessing a closely fought battle between three players.
A packed leaderboard for the Sunday final round
Andy Sullivan of England is on the hunt but is chased by four players who are one shot behind him including Shane Lowry and Paul Casey. Shane Lowry is looking for his maiden title at the Porsche Singapore Classic, after coming extremely close at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (3), and the Cognizant Classic (T4). For Lowry, the problem has become keeping the momentum in the final rounds, which the Irishman desperately wants to change.

Paul Casey, in his first DP World Tour appearance since the 2022 Dubai Desert Classic, is also tied with Lowry for the second spot as of the time the report went to publication. Casey is playing at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club on a sponsor exemption. The LIV Golf Pro has been associated with Porsche since the 2020 US Open. The 46-year-old, who wanted to become a racing driver as a teenager, has sported the Porsche logo on his bag since then.
Paul Casey has 15 European Tour wins and played in multiple Ryder Cups, but is only playing the Singapore Classic this week on an invite from his long term partner Porsche. He just made 5 birdies in his last 6 to move into contention going into Sunday. Big story developing. pic.twitter.com/yZrxcBW33a

Notably, five LIV Golfers have won DP World Tour events this season. Dean Burmester emerged victorious during the JoBurg Open and the Investec South African Open Championship. His Stinger GC teammate, Louis Oosthuizen, repeated the feat in back-to-back weeks in December, first in the Alfred Dunhill Championship and then in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. Casey has plenty of inspiration on Sunday.
On the other hand, Matthieu Pavon made his DP World Tour return since earning his way to the PGA Tour last season. The Frenchman is currently tied for the 13th spot on the leaderboard in the Porsche Singapore Classic.
