LIV Golf Adelaide prize money

LIV Golf Adelaide has a $25 million prize purse, like the rest of the events on the series schedule. According to LIV's prize money distribution chart, the event’s winner will bag a whopping $4,000,000, a 20 per cent cut of the total purse. While the winner takes the major share, the runner-up will settle for a paycheck of $2,125,000.

The golfer finishing third on the leaderboard will win $1,500,000, while the fourth-placed golfer will return home with $1,050,000. Unlike the PGA Tour, LIV events do not have cuts after 36 holes, and all 48 players on the field will earn prize money paychecks for their efforts.

On the teams front, the top three teams will split the $5 million prize money between them. While the winning team gets $3 million, the runner-up will take $1.5 million and the third-placed team will get $500,000. It is also pertinent to note that LIV Golf is not yet eligible for Official World Golf Ranking points.
