It is pertinent to note that the prize purse is significantly lower compared to other events on the DP World Tour like the Abu Dhabi Championship and the Dubai Desert Classic. This week’s event also features no players from the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings owing to the lowered purse.
For the unversed, the DP World Tour event clashes with the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational which flaunts a whopping $20 million prize purse. The American tour event’s field features more than 40 of the top 50 players in the world.
