How much is the Open de Espana worth in 2026?

| Finish | Payout |
|---|---|
| Winner | $637,500 |
| Runner-up | $412,500 |
What else is at stake besides the money?
Beyond the paycheck and Race to Dubai points, the winner secures an invitation to next year's Masters and a place in The Open Qualifying Series at St Andrews. The spots stem from qualification changes Augusta National and the R&A announced in August, which also grant the Open Qualifying Series place to the tournament's leading finisher who is not otherwise exempt.
Marco Penge returns as defending champion after his victory 12 months ago, with a field that includes Shane Lowry and Ludvig Aberg. The Open de Espana is one of the oldest national opens in golf.
