LIV Golf League is back this week with the LIV Golf DC. The Saudi-backed series is currently at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC after the PGA Championship 2023. The event, played from May 26 to 28, will see 48 players competing in 12 teams for the $25 million prize purse on offer.

Much like the rest of the LIV Golf events so far, this week’s LIV DC will also feature a stacked field. Players like Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and PGA Championship 2023 champion Brooks Koepka are among its top contenders.

LIV Golf DC prize money

LIV Golf DC has a $25 million prize purse. According to LIV's prize money distribution chart, the weekend event’s winner will bag a whopping $4,000,000. This is a 20 percent cut of the total purse. While the winner takes the major share, the runner-up will settle for a paycheck of $2,125,000.

It is pertinent to note that the winner will not get OWGR ranking points as the circuit is not qualified for the same.

The golfer finishing third on the final leaderboard will win $1,500,000, while the player ending up fourth will take $1,050,000. All 48 players on the field will earn prize money paychecks, as LIV events do not have classic 36 holes cut.

Apart from the individual prizes, LIV Golf also awards the best-performing teams at each event. The top three teams will split the $5 million prize money between them, with the winning team bagging $3 million. The runner-up will take $1.5 million, and the third team on the podium will get $500,000.
