The 2026 Amgen Irish Open carries a $6 million purse, with the winner set to earn more than $1 million along with 835 Race to Dubai points and 250 Ryder Cup qualification points.
How much does the Irish Open pay out?
The tournament has offered a $6 million purse since 2022, split among every player who makes the cut. That figure makes it the joint-highest payout on the DP World Tour schedule outside the majors and Rolex Series events. Past champions at that purse level include Rory McIlroy, Rasmus Hojgaard and Vincent Norrman.
| Finish | Payout |
|---|---|
| 1st | $1,000,000+ |
| 2nd | $660,000 |
| 3rd-4th | $300,000+ |
What do players outside the top spots earn?
A top-12 finish is worth a six-figure payday before deductions, based on a full field of 70 players making the cut and before ties are factored in. The breakdown reflects the maximum available at each position and can shift once ties are settled at the finish.
