After a successful outing at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson, LIV Golf is back this week in Florida. Hosted by the Orange County National Golf Club's Crooked Cat Course near Orlando, LIV Golf Orlando is set to tee off on Friday, March 31.

The third event of the 2023 LIV Golf League schedule, LIV Golf Orlando, will see golfers from the series’ 12 teams take on each other for the top prize. The event will have a $25 million prize purse on offer, similar to the first two outings.

The Saudi-backed series’ 48-player field, headlined by the likes of Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, among others, will tee up for the event held just days ahead of the 2023 Masters.

LIV Golf Orlando prize money

LIV Golf Orlando has a $25 million prize purse. Based on LIV's prize money distribution chart, the event’s winner will bag a whopping $4,000,000, a 20 percent payout from the purse. Since the rebel series doesn’t have a cut like the PGA Tour, all 48 players on the field will win paychecks.

Golfers finishing the event will divide the $20 million individual portion of the prize pool. While the winner takes the major share, the runner-up of the event will bag $2,125,000 for his efforts. The third-placed golfer will win $1,500,000, while the fourth-place finisher will return home with $1,050,000. The golfer finishing last on the field will earn $120,000 for his efforts.

As part of LIV’s team prize distribution system, the top three teams in the 12-team concurrent format will split $5 million in prize money. The team finishing first will bag $3 million while the runner-up will take $1.5 million. The third-placed team will get $500,000. These prizes will be divided equally among members.
