JUMP TO: 2024 Winnings | 2023 winnings | 2022 winnings

The big-money LIV Golf League has 14 events across the globe in 2024, offering the players the opportunity to earn millions of dollars.

Unlike 2023, the 2024 LIV Golf season sees 54 players compete throughout the season with 13 teams set for the year. There will be two individual spots, one of which was taken by Hudson Swafford ahead of the first event, while Anthony Kim made his long-awaited return to golf in Jeddah. See the full roster and teams here.

But while the rebel series’ has changed some elements for this year, one thing that has remained the same is the vast prize money on offer.

Each of the 12 regular season events has a $25m purse with $20m for the individual competition and $5m for the team competition.

Every individual tournament winner receives $4m, with the player who finished last in the 54-man events taking home $50,000. Each tournament’s winning team receives $3m to split between its four players. Only the PGA Tour’s flagship event, The Players Championship, has a bigger prize fund.

The player who tops the individual standings at the end of the season receives an $18m bonus. Dustin Johnson took the honors in LIV Golf’s inaugural season with 4Aces teammate Talor Gooch scooping the pot in 2023.

The 2024 season’s finale, the Team Championship, will have a $50m purse up for grabs for the 13 teams. The winning team will receive $14 million, the runners-up $8 million, and third place $6 million. Even the team finishing last will receive $1.25 million. For 2024, this team prize fund will be split 60/40, with 60% of the team’s winnings going directly to a team operating fund, while the remaining 40% will be distributed in 10% shares to each of the four players.

LIV’s players will have even more opportunities to add to their vast earnings with the news that they will be allowed to play in the Major Championships if they meet the qualifying criteria, as well as being able to play on the Asian and DP World Tours.

LIV Golf 2023 results

Final individual season standings

Players ranked 1st to 24th – the ‘Lock Zone’ automatically secure their spot on LIV for the following season. Players who finished the season in 25th to 44th are in the ‘Open Zone’ (not the one we see on Sky Sports during the year’s final Major), meaning they could be traded by their captains or released from LIV altogether. Players in 45th and below, unless a captain or exempt due to their contract conditions are relegated from LIV, thus losing their status on the big-money tour.
