2024 Irish Open prize money: Exploring the winner's pay, prize purse breakdown and more

The 2024 Irish Open boasts a purse of $6 million, with the winner receiving a check for $1.02 million. This event is a regular DP World Tour stop and is not part of the five Rolex Series events on the circuit.

The tournament will be held at Royal County Down Golf Club in Northern Ireland and is the only European Tour event to take place in the country. There is no change in the purse for 2024, as the winner's prize remains at $1.02 million from the total purse of $6 million, the same as last year.

It will be headlined by World No. 3 Rory McIlroy, who won the tournament in 2016. In addition to McIlroy, Vincent Norrman will return to defend his title. The event will also feature Shane Lowry, 2024 Omega European Masters runner-up Alfred Garcia Heredia, PGA Tour winner Robert MacIntyre, and Nicolai Hojgaard.

The Irish Open is one of the oldest golf tournaments on the European Tour. It was part of the circuit's Rolex Series from 2017 to 2019. The event was originally a pre-European Tour event from 1927 to 1953. It became a regular European Tour event in 1975 and was included in the Rolex Series in 2017. However, it returned to being a regular event on the circuit in 2020.

Former PGA Tour golfer Jon Rahm has had impressive success at the tournament. He won the Irish Open twice, in 2017 and 2019, and holds the record for the lowest score in the tournament's history. Rahm scored 24 under par in 2017, which remains the best score ever recorded at the event.
