An already memorable 2023 season on the DP World Tour for Nicolai Hojgaard—in which he played in his first Ryder Cup—got even more so on Sunday at the DP World Tour Championship. The 22-year-old Dane closed out the final round at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai with a eight-under 64 to charge past overnight leader Matt Wallace and claim victory with a 21-under 267 performance, two shots better than Wallace, Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland.
Although it is Hojgaard’s third career DP World Tour victory, it is also his most profitable. With a total purse of $10.5 million, the first-place prize money payout was $3 million. Sunday’s payout (€2,764,461 in Euros) represents over 40 percent of his total career earnings on the DP World Tour to date (€6,380,134.75).
Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer who competed in the DP World Tour’s season finale.
