2024 LIV Golf team standing ahead of the Dallas decider event explored
The 2024 LIV Golf is on the cusp of its finale as it prepares for the Team Championship in Dallas the coming weekend. This is the first time the Team Championship will be played in the US.
After the expansion, 13 teams were a part of the Saudi-backed tour. The recently concluded Individual Championship in Chicago finalized the team seeding for the Dallas event. Only the top three teams received a first-round bye and have automatically qualified for the semi-finals. They are Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC, LIV Golf debutant and recently crowned Individual Champion Jon Rahm's Legion XIII and Cameron Smith's Ripper GC.
The rest of the teams will have to slog it out in the quarter-finals. The five teams earning two points will advance to the semi-finals on Saturday. Only four teams earning two points will then qualify for the final round on Sunday. The team with the lowest score on the final day will be the winner of the 2024 Team Championship.
The Team event features a staggering prize purse of $50 million. The winning team will take home a whopping $14 million. The tournament will take place on 20-22 September 2024 at the Maridoe Golf Club in Dallas, Texas. 52 golfers from 13 teams will be seen in action on the field.
