2024 LIV Golf Houston: Prize Money Breakdown and Winner’s Payout

Only 18 holes remain until the conclusion of LIV Golf Houston. The limited 54 field players have been battling it out at the Golf Club in Houston before they move on to the third major of the season—the 2024 U.S. Open. The innovative league, like always, has $25 million up for grabs, and all the players are guaranteed to receive money.

From the $25 million, $20 million gets distributed between the golfers, whereas the remaining $5 million is kept for the top three teams at the end of the event. The individual winner of LIV Golf Houston will receive $4 million from the lucrative prize purse. The runner-up will get $2.25 million and the third on the leaderboard will still bag $1.5 million.

In the team competition, with the black trophy, the winning team will get a 60% cut from the $5 million, which comes out to be $3 million. Each member of the team will get $750,000, equally distributed among them. The total prize breakdown is below.
