Since the LIV Golf League took off in 2022, it has made great strides in massive payouts, enhanced quality of play, and increased competitiveness. The Saudi-backed league has stirred up the golf landscape by poaching top golfers such as Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka, and although it faced fierce criticism in its early days, it’s undeniable that LIV is one of the most entertaining modern-day golf outfits. Just recently, the PGA of America confirmed Ryder Cup eligibility for LIV Golf players, which is a win that adds to their participation in the PGA Championship.
The LIV Golf 2024 season has just ended, and as usual, top players have earned massive amounts of money. The league consists of 14 no-cut 54-hole tournaments, with the winner earning a whopping $4,000,000 per tournament. Players also cash in from team competitions, with the individual points list also awarding hefty bonus payouts to the top 3 players at the end of the season.
