LIV Golf Tulsa prize money

LIV Golf Tulsa has a $25 million prize purse, like the rest of the events on the series schedule.

According to LIV's prize money distribution chart, the weekend event’s winner will bag a whopping $4,000,000. This is the standard 20 per cent cut of the total purse. However, the paycheck will be the only earning for the winner as the rebel series still doesn’t provide OWGR points.

While the winner takes the major share of the total prize purse, the runner-up will settle for a paycheck of $2,125,000. The golfer finishing third will win $1,500,000, while the fourth-placed golfer will earn $1,050,000 for his efforts.

It’s pertinent to note that LIV Golf events do not have 36-hole cuts like its American alternate. All 48 players competing at the event will return home with prize money paychecks.
