What is the purse and the winner’s payout for the Dubai Invitational 2026?
The total purse for this year’s Dubai Invitational stands at a whopping $2.75 million. Leading the standings as of now, Nacho Elvira has a very good chance of pocketing the winner’s prize, which is $465,000.

It is to be noted that this prize money does not match the usual 17% payout structure as sanctioned by the DP World Tour prize money distribution chart.
However, apart from the money, the tournament is also providing a lot of additional perks. The winner will be awarded a total of approximately 28 OWGR points. The exact amount can be determined based on the field strength. Other benefits for the winner include a multi-season exemption on the European Tour, as well as direct qualifications for important events of the year.
All in all, there will be a total of 3500 Race to Dubai points up for grabs for everyone. Winning the tournament will guarantee 585 DP World Tour points, while the top 8 in the Race to Dubai rankings will get additional financial perks to be paid from the $6 million bonus.
