How much did golfers earn at LIV Golf Jeddah in Saudi Arabia

The final individual event of the LIV Golf calendar year ended on Sunday in Saudi Arabia. The LIV Golf Jeddah event, which went to the playoffs, saw Brooks Koepka emerge victorious over Smash teammate Peter Uihlein. The win at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club saw Koepka take home the $4 million prize.

It is pertinent to note that Dustin Johnson was crowned the individual champion of LIV Golf’s inaugural season even before the event.

The LIV Golf Boston champion ensured the title in Bangkok last week. The two-time Major winner bagged a whopping $18 million as a bonus for finishing first. The bonus win took the golfer’s earnings from LIV Golf to nearly $31 million.

Following this, all eyes were on LIV Golf Jeddah to see who would follow him in the standings.

Brooks Koepka wins LIV Golf Jeddah

Brooks Koepka rose to the occasion on Sunday and clinched his first victory in LIV Golf. The American golfer holed a birdie putt on the third hole of a playoff to edge out compatriot Peter Uihlein at LIV Golf Jeddah. Notably, the play-off victory in Saudi Arabia was Koepka’s first victory since February 2021.

Koepka, who has struggled with injuries in recent years, opened the event with an 8-under-par 62. However, he was overtaken by teammate Uihlein on Saturday. Keopka later made a strong comeback to shoot a 69, tying at 12 under with Uihlein. The 32-year-old American golfer then came out on top in the playoffs at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club and took the $4 million prize.
