Season 2, Episode 2 of the LIV Golf League takes place this weekend at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson, with the usual pomp and circumstance we’ve got to expect from the upstart Saudi-backed circuit.
The field in the no-cut 54-hole event is the customary 48 players. And the prize money payout continues to be notable, with $20 million on the line in the individual competition. The winner claims $4 million with everybody guaranteed to take home at least a six-figure check, with a last-place showing good enough to bank $120,000, which is just a little more than the equivalent of 18th at this week’s Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour.
In addition to the individual competition, there is $5 million up for grabs in the team portion of the event as the four-man squads continue to try to make themselves a point of differentiation between LIV and other pro tours. The winning team claims a $3 million prize money payout with the second-place team grabbing $1.5 million.
Here’s the prize money payout for the field in Tucson.
