LIV Golf Valderrama prize money: How much will the LIV event winner get?

LIV Golf League is back this week with the LIV Golf Valderrama. After a short break from action, the Saudi-backed series is currently at the prestigious Real Club Valderrama in Sotogrande, Cadiz, Spain. The event, played from June 30 to July 2, will see LIV’s 48 players from the 12 teams go up against each for the $25 million prize purse.

Much like the rest of the LIV Golf events so far, LIV Golf Valderrama also features a stacked field headlined by the likes of Sergio Garcia, Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. The players will be competing for the winner’s share of $4,000,000 from the Saudi-backed series’ massive purse.

It is pertinent to note that LIV still doesn’t offer OWGR ranking points, and thus the money is all the winner gets.

According to LIV's prize money distribution chart, the LIV Golf Valderrama champion will bag $4 million. This is 20 per cent of the $20 million prize purse for the individual event. Owing to the league’s limited field, the event’s runner-up will also be earning a massive paycheck. The golfer finishing behind the champion will return home with $2.12 million.

The golfer finishing third on the final leaderboard will win $1.5 million, while the four-placed golfer will settle for $1.05 million. It is pertinent to note that LIV Golf events are 54 holes and do not have the classic 36 holes cut. Owing to this, all 48 players on the final leaderboard will bag prize money paychecks. The golfer finishing last will earn $120,000 for his efforts.
