The LIV Golf Invitational Series era has started. Nobody really knows how this will all play out, but there\u2019s one certainty: vast, vast, vast sums of cash will be claimed.<\/p>\n
One of the main appeals of the Saudi Arabia-backed tournament, by its own admission on its official website, is the bumper prize money pot on offer to each player who competes in the series.<\/p>\n
The total prize money pot will amount to approximately \u00a3205 million ($255m) to be won across eight events. We break down all the amounts for you below.<\/p>\n
On top of prize money, it has been reported that Phil Mickelson alone has been paid \u00a3160 million ($200m) to feature in the tournament and that names such as Dustin Johnson have accepted similarly weighty cheques to throw their voices and talents behind the controversial breakaway league.<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you all the details you need to know about prize money at the LIV Golf Invitational Series 2022.<\/p> Per event (individuals)<\/strong><\/p>\n Each of the events will boast a \u00a320 million ($25m) prize pot to be split between individuals who finished in the positions listed below.<\/p>\n The 10th-placed finisher will pick up \u00a3446k ($560k). For context, 10th place earns you \u00a3323k ($405k) at the biggest tournament of them all, The Masters.<\/p>\n The player who finishes last (48th) will collect \u00a396k ($120k), a figure that eclipses everyone who finishes below 26th in The Masters.<\/p>\n Per event (split between teams)<\/strong><\/p>\n On top of individual prize money, the team aspect of the series also offers a healthy top-up. Four-man teams in each event will split the following amounts evenly if they finish in the top three.<\/p>\n Final standings \u2013 after seven events (individuals)<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of seven events, an individual champion will be crowned. There are three bonus prizes to be won for the top three players.<\/p>\n Team Championship \u2013 eighth event (split between teams)<\/strong><\/p>\n Finally, if that\u2019s not enough money to wrap your head around, there\u2019s a final eighth event which takes the form of a 12-team match play knockout tournament.<\/p>\n The last-place team earns \u00a3800k ($1m) and the first-place team wins \u00a312.8 million ($16m). All team amounts are split equally between the four members of that team.<\/p>\n The bottom line<\/strong><\/p>\n We ran a test, simulating results for the tournament to work out an upper-end (but not maximum) prize money total that one individual could take home.<\/p>\n If Golfer A finishes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th in the eight events, they will earn $9.8m.<\/p>\n If Golfer A\u2019s performances lead his team to one team victory, two team runner-up positions and one third-place finish, he will earn a $1.6m share of the team prize purse.<\/p>\n If Golfer A does enough to secure second place in the individual standings after the seven-event regular season, he will top up his account with another $8m.<\/p>\n If Golfer A inspires his team to victory in the team matchplay tournament for the eighth event, he will add another $4m to his running total.<\/p>\n That successful, but not perfect, campaign would see Golfer A pick up a prize money cheque for approximately $23.5 million, which works out at about \u00a318.75m.<\/p>\n For reference, if you had never won a cent in your career to date, but finished the LIV Golf Invitational Series with that result, you would be launched into No.75 place for the PGA Tour all-time career prize money earnings list.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guid<\/b>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
