Alfred Dunhill Links Championship prize money 2026: How much they're playing for
Alfred Dunhill Links Championship prize money 2026: Check out how much the DP World Tour golfers are playing for in Scotland.
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship returns to Scotland this week for its 25th edition.
The tournament, which runs from Thursday through Sunday, will again move between the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns during the opening three rounds before the survivors return to St Andrews for the final round.
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre returns as defending champion after claiming his first Dunhill Links title in a weather-shortened 2025 championship.
The European Ryder Cup star closed with a 66 at St Andrews to finish four shots clear of Tyrrell Hatton at 18 under par.
MacIntyre faces a deep field that includes three-time champion Hatton, former winner Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Brooks Koepka.
Fitzpatrick arrives in Scotland fresh from victory at the Open de France, while Fleetwood brings an impressive Dunhill Links record that includes two runner-up finishes and seven top-10s.
Hatton will be seeking another piece of tournament history. The Englishman won successive titles in 2016 and 2017 before adding a third victory in 2024, making him the event's first three-time champion.
Fitzpatrick also has a strong connection with the tournament, having won the individual and team titles in 2023 alongside his mother, Susan.
A number of LIV Golf players are set to tee it up, such as Bubba Watson, Cameron Smith and David Puig.
Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are set to make their first starts on the DP World Tour since 2022.
The prize money for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is $5m.
That means the champion will walk away with $800,000.
