How much will golfers win at LIV Golf Las Vegas? Exploring the $25,000,000 prize purse
The 2024 season of LIV Golf teed off last week with the season opener in Mayakoba. After its successful Mexican stint, which was won by Joaquin Niemann, the Saud-backed series is currently in Las Vegas for the 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas. The three-day event is underway at the Las Vegas Country Club and is set to conclude on Saturday, February 10.
Like all other LIV Golf events, LIV Golf Las Vegas has a $25,000,000 prize purse. The 54-hole event will see the 54-player field compete for the $20 million purse, with $4 million kept aside for the champion golfer. The golfer finishing runner-up at the event will bag a whopping $2.25 million, while the third-place winner gets $1.5 million.
The golfer finishing fourth on the LIV Golf Las Vegas leaderboard will bag $1 million. The fifth-place golfer will win a $800,000 paycheck, while the sixth-place winner will return home with $700,000.
Notably, the breakaway tour has 54 players this season, instead of 48. Owing to the change, the last-place golfer at the event gets $50,000, a total of $70,000 lower than 2023’s last-place winner’s prize.
