It is important to note that the LIV Golf events purse is $25 million, however, the per-player prize money payout is subject to change as the officials are yet to confirm the field and prize money. As LIV Golf tournaments are no-cut events and if 13 teams compete in the season, it would make a field of 52 players, which could change the overall prize money.
