The prize fund, which represents an increase of 150,000 euros on 2007, will be biggest this year outside the four majors and the individual World Golf Championship events.
The winner of the European Tour's flagship tournament will receive 750,000 euros, a rise of 25,000 euros on the first prize claimed last year by Dane Anders Hansen after he beat Justin Rose in a playoff, organisers said in a news release on Monday.
Hansen also won the trophy in 2002.
The PGA Championship starts on May 22.
