How much will each player win at the 2024 LIV Golf Team Championship? Prize breakdown explored
The 2024 LIV Golf season is coming to an end with this week's Team Championship. The season finale event has a lucrative purse of $50 million, with the winning team receiving a prize of $14 million. However, as was the case last season, 60 percent of the Team Championship prize money is awarded to management, while the remaining 40 percent is equally distributed among the four players.
Considering this, of the winning team's $14 million, around $8.4 million will go to the managing team, and the remaining 40 percent, which is $5.6 million, will be distributed among the players. Each player on the winning team will receive approximately $1.4 million. The second-place finishers will earn $8 million in total, with $800,000 per player.
Notably, all 13 teams will earn prize money from the Team Championship based on their finish on the leaderboard. The team finishing at the bottom of the leaderboard will distribute 40 percent of $600,000 among four players.

All 13 teams will tee off in the finale of the 2024 LIV Golf Team Championship on Sunday, September 22. However, only four of them will play for the title and the $14 million prize money.
In the Saudi Circuit season-ending Team Championship, only the teams that won in the semifinals on Saturday, September 21, will compete for the top four positions on the leaderboard. The team among the four with the lowest score will win the title.
In the semifinals on Saturday, Iron Heads GC defeated Crushers GC to advance to the final, Legion XIII won against Hyflyers, Ripper GC won against Fireballs, and 4 Aces GC defeated Stinger GC. The winning teams will compete for the top four positions, while the losing teams will play for the next four spots.
Additionally, the teams that lost in the quarterfinals—Smash GC, Torque GC, Majesticks GC, Cleeks, and RangeGoats—will play to secure positions from 9th to 13th on the leaderboard.
The LIV Golf Team Championship 2024 finale will take place in a stroke play format, meaning all players will compete individually, and the scores of all four players from each team will be combined for the team score.
