The 2026 Dubai Invitational prize money payout is from the $2.75 million purse, with the professional players who complete four rounds at Dubai Creek Resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, earning DP World Tour prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.
The winner's share of the Dubai Invitational prize pool is at $465,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $300,000. The Dubai Invitational prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of more than 17 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each DP World Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place player.
The Dubai Invitational field is headed by Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and more.
This tournament started with 60 players, and a cut was not made this week after two rounds. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 Dubai Invitational from the correct 2026 Dubai Invitational full-field payout is based on their finish.
The 36-hole cut was not made to the top 65 players and ties, meaning all qualifying players have an opportunity to move up the leaderboard in the final round. Two players have withdrawn.
The 2026 Dubai Invitational prize money payout is only true after the DP World Tour cut is made, with the DP World Tour adding money to the purse if more than 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
With the DP World Tour cut rule down to the top 65 and ties, players are subject to the DP World Tour's secondary cut if more than 78 players make the cut.
What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this event will get 585 Race to Dubai points, as this is considered an official event on the DP World Tour schedule with 3,500 total points available.
Additionally, there are approximately 23 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.
While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the DP World Tour. Winners of these events get a two-plus season exemption on the DP World Tour, as well as berths into other big tour events.
