Spanish Open prize money: How much is at stake in Madrid?

The Open de Espana is one of the more lucrative tournaments of the regular DP World Tour season. The Spanish Open prize money in 2026 amounts to a total of 3,250,000 US dollars. This puts the prize money half a million above the level of many other European events. The BMW International Open in Germany or the Austrian Alpine Open in Austria, for example, "only" have total prize money of 2,750,000 US dollars. At the first Spanish Open in golf, which took place in 1972, there was the equivalent of a good 10,000 euros in total prize money. Now, for the fourth time in a row, more than three million dollars will be distributed among the participants in Madrid.

For the professionals, Madrid is not only about one of the most coveted trophies on the continent, but also about valuable points for qualifying for the season finale in Dubai. The winner will receive 835 points and also secure the right to play on the DP World Tour for two more years.

Venue: Club de Campo Villa de Madrid

The acciona Open de España will return to the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid in 2026 - a course that enjoys a legendary reputation in the golf world. The "Black Course" (Campo Negro), designed by the famous Spanish architect Javier Arana, is considered one of the best parkland courses in Europe.

What makes this venue so special is its unique location: just a few minutes away from Madrid's vibrant city center, it offers an oasis of calm where players can still keep an eye on the Spanish capital's impressive skyline at all times.

The sporting challenge:

• Hilly terrain: the course is characterized by gentle but treacherous slopes that require precise club selection and good physical condition.
• Strategic design: The Fairways are often lined with mature trees, which makes precise drives more important than pure length. The finish on the last holes in particular is known for its drama, as small mistakes often make the difference between winning and losing.
• Atmosphere: During the tournament, the Club de Campo turns into a cauldron. The Spanish fans are considered to be particularly passionate, which creates a goosebump atmosphere, especially at the famous 18th hole.

The club has excellent transport links for visitors. As the tournament generates huge public interest, it is recommended to use the official shuttle services from the city center for the Spanish Open 2026, as parking capacity directly at the club is limited.

Tip for golfers: If you would like to follow in the footsteps of the pros, the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid is a Hybrid club that is also open to green fee players at certain times. A must for any golf vacation in the Madrid region.
