LIV Golf has now moved to the Trump National Golf Club in Washington D.C. The tournament started on May 25 and will end on May 27.

This is the seventh event in the Saudi-backed league's calendar this year. The tournament will see 48 players divided into 12 teams competing with each other.

The D.C. tournament is having a similar payout as other league events. The likes of Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, and Brooks Koepka will gear up for a massive $25 million purse for individuals and teams.

What is the prize money for LIV Golfers in Washington D.C.?

The total prize purse of LIV Golf D.C. is $25 million. The Individual winner takes home a massive $4 million paycheck and the winning team takes a $3 million paycheck.

The player in the second rank on the leaderboard will earn $2,250,000, followed by the third-ranked player with $1,500,000. The 48th-ranked player will earn $120,000. No golfer will be awarded any OWGR points.

The team prize pool is $5 million. The first-ranked team will get $3 million, followed by the second-ranked team with 1.5 million paychecks.
