How much did Dustin Johnson win at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas? Exploring prize money payout for $25,000,000 event
Dustin Johnson earned $4 million from the purse of $25 million after winning the 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas event on Saturday, February 10. The 4Aces GC captain settled for a score of 12-under, registering a one-stroke victory over last year's LIV Individual Champion Talor Gooch and RangeGoats player Peter Uihlein.
Johnson shot all the rounds under par, with his best score coming in the second round when he shot 8-under. He played a round of 1-under on Saturday and emerged victorious.
Gooch and Uihlein settled in a tie for second place and took $1.87 million each. Matthew Wolff earned a check of $1 million by finishing solo in the fourth position. Jon Rahm pocketed $525K after finishing in eighth place, while Adrian Meronk tied for ninth place, which earned him $409K in prize money.
Dustin Johnson was impressive in his first season of LIV Golf when he won the season-ending individual championship. However, last year, he finished fifth on the individual leaderboard. Nonetheless, in 2024, he got off to a smooth start with a victory at the Las Vegas event.
Speaking about his win, Johnson said (via Mirror.co.uk):
"Yeah, last year I did not play very well. It kind of goes with how much effort I put into it, too. I obviously could have worked a lot harder than I did. This year I've got a little more drive and determination because I don't enjoy not playing well. I enjoy playing well. I enjoy being up here talking to you guys after the week is over, and I really enjoy holding up the trophies at the end of the week.”
