Dustin Johnson won the LIV Golf Tulsa at Cedar Ridge Country Club on Sunday. The golfer beat the likes of Cameron Smith and Branden Grace in a playoff to lift the trophy. The 2022 LIV Golf champion landed his first win of the season with this achievement.
The two-time major champion took the second victory on the Saudi Arabi-backed circuit, months after his LIV Golf Boston win last season. The star golfer bagged a whopping $4,000,000 paycheck for the win. It’s pertinent to note that Johnson is already LIV’s highest-earning player. The American has now extended his earnings to over $40 million. The 38-year-old also earned a share of the $1,500,000 prize money earned by his 4Aces team.
While Dustin Johnson bagged the major share of the total prize purse, runners-up Grace and Smith settled for paychecks of $1,875,000 each. Harold Varner III finished fourth and bagged $1,000,000 for his efforts. Brooks Koepka, one of the favorites for LIV Golf Tulsa, finished T5 with Bryson DeChambeau and Eugenio Chacarra. The trio won $703,333 each.
Interestingly, Talor Gooch, who was eyeing a three-peat at the event, settled for a T36 finish. He returned home with $146,250.
