The PGA Tour hosts tournaments in the United States and North America while the DP World Tour is responsible for organizing tournaments across Europe. Here’s some insight into which professional tour is more lucrative.

Last month the PGA Tour revealed a massive increase in the total prize purse for the season. The Players Championship has been bumped to total prize money of $20M, and the FedExCup prize pool will surge from $60M in 2021 to $75M in 2022 among other changes.

The DP World Tour (formerly known as the European Tour) announced massive changes starting from the 2021-22 season. The tour is in its 50th edition and has majorly upgraded total prize money given across the season.

From the looks of the total prize money awarded, the PGA Tour is clearly ahead in this race. However, the DP World Tour has just received a massive bump due to the sponsorship deal. Both tours host exciting tournaments nonetheless!
