What is LIV Golf Nashville 2024 purse, payout for tournament at The Grove?

LIV Golf is coming to Nashville and will be bringing more than just 2024 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau to The Grove. 

Also on the agenda: Cold, hard cash.

This first-ever LIV Nashville event has a total purse of $25 million. Of that amount, $20 million is for individual winnings and $5 million is for LIV’s team competition. 

The winning individual will receive $4 million. The winning team will earn $3 million.

For context, DeChambeau’s $4.3 million winnings last week were part of a record U.S. Open purse of $21.5 million.

The 54-hole Nashville tournament includes 54 individuals and 13 teams. Play runs Friday through Sunday at The Grove with a 12:15 p.m. shotgun start each day. It’s the ninth tournament on LIV’s 14-event schedule and the first to be held in Tennessee. 

LIV Golf is a professional men’s golf circuit that was formed in 2021 and began official play in 2022. The league is owned by the Public Investment Fund, a wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. LIV’s generous payouts at each tournament and huge financial contracts have helped recruit former PGA Tour members and major championship winners DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson , Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Jon Rahm and Bubba Watson. 

With that has spawned a fierce rivalry with the PGA Tour, which has long operated North America’s top professional golf tournaments, outside the major championships. Last year, LIV and the PGA Tour announced a framework agreement to merge, but no deal has been signed.

LIV has not released complete player groupings for Nashville, but it confirmed DeChambeau, who outdueled Rory McIlroy for last week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst, will play.
