Last year, the KLM Open prize money was a big surprise for the European pros as they saw a huge increase in the purse. The 2023 edition of the event was played for $2 million. However, in 2024, the same tournament’s prize money increased by 25% to $2.5 million. That must have raised everyone’s hopes for this year’s KLM Open as well. And it turns out that in 2025, the total prize money of the event has also increased, albeit not as much as it did last year.
As mentioned on the Instagram page of the tournament, the payout for the 2025 KLM Open has increased by 10% to $2.75 million. The winner is promised a hefty paycheck of $467,500, and everyone in the top 5 will earn more than $100,000. Even those who finish last after making the cut will get $5,225. Unfortunately, the defending champion, Guido Migliozzi, is not in contention to repeat his feat from 2024 as he has already missed the cut. But let’s see what everyone who made the weekend rounds can earn.

It’s worth noting that 74 golfers have actually made the cut after the second round. So the final payouts for some positions might differ. However, it should still remain relatively close to what is displayed on the table above.
Having said that, let’s review what has happened in the tournament so far.
Three rounds of drama among the Dutch
The KLM Open, or what was formerly known as the Dutch Open, has seen some big-name winners in the past. Green Jacket winners like Sergio Garcia, Bernhard Langer, José María Olazábal, and Seve Ballesteros have all won the tournament in the past. And Connor Syme is trying his best to join the list of elites. After 14 birdies, 1 eagle, and 6 bogeys, he has managed to score a 10-under par going into the last 18 holes. His flawless third round helped him propel to the top after he went 1-over par on Friday.
Syme leads the field by two strokes with Joakim Lagergren closely tailing him. But that’s where the threat ends for the Scottish pro. Everyone else on the field is at least 6 strokes away from the 29-year-old. If things go as planned, then Connor Syme will become the first Scottish golfer, since Colin Montgomerie in 1993, to win the Dutch Open. Are you excited to see another golfer from Scotland dominate the land of the Dutch?
