This golfer headed to the PGA Tour just got a $200,000 bonus

Min Woo Lee was confirmed as the winner of the DP World Tour's Opening Swing after Louis Oosthuizen posted back-to-back victories on the European-based circuit. 

Lee, 25, took home the top prize of $200,000 after winning the Australian PGA Championship on 26 November before finishing third at the Australian Open a week later. 

It means he will also be given a spot for each of the 'Back 9' events, which form the second phase of the season and will run between August and October. 

In August, the DP World Tour announced record prize money of £117m for the 2024 season, up £3.4m from the year prior. 

As part of that announcement, the revamped schedule sees the Race to Dubai broken down into three phases throughout the year. 

Take a look at how it works here:

Lee was one of 10 players who earned their PGA Tour cards following the conclusion of the DP World Tour Championship. 

With the world of professional golf in pure chaos, there were rumours Lee could've hot-footed it to the lucrative LIV Golf League. 

To put those rumours to bed, the popular Aussie recently dropped a dramatic hype video to confirm where he'll be plying his trade in 2024.
