The 2024 season of LIV Golf teed off last week with the season opener in Mayakoba. After its successful Mexican stint, which was won by Joaquin Niemann, the Saud-backed series is currently in Las Vegas for the 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas. The three-day event is underway at the Las Vegas Country Club and is set to conclude on Saturday, February 10.
Like all other LIV Golf events, LIV Golf Las Vegas has a $25,000,000 prize purse. The 54-hole event will see the 54-player field compete for the $20 million purse, with $4 million kept aside for the champion golfer. The golfer finishing runner-up at the event will bag a whopping $2.25 million, while the third-place winner gets $1.5 million.
The golfer finishing fourth on the LIV Golf Las Vegas leaderboard will bag $1 million. The fifth-place golfer will win a $800,000 paycheck, while the sixth-place winner will return home with $700,000.
Notably, the breakaway tour has 54 players this season, instead of 48. Owing to the change, the last-place golfer at the event gets $50,000, a total of $70,000 lower than 2023’s last-place winner’s prize.
