The eagerly awaited Adelaide event in Australia kicked off this week. Following a three-week hiatus due to the Masters, the Saudi-sponsored circuit reopened with an enormous $25 million prize pool. The defending champion Talor Gooch does not seem to be shooting a repeat of last year, where he took home the prize.
A star-studded field has flocked to Adelaide in an attempt to win a hefty share of the purse, and have some fun shoey moments! The competition has now mostly come down to the best of the best that LIV has on the greens. Brendan Steele and Danny Lee are top contenders, along with local favorite Cameron Smith and the Torque GC member Carlos Ortiz.
The enormous first-place prize for the individual champion is without a doubt the main draw of the LIV Golf Adelaide 2024. The official payoff breakdown shows that the winner will receive a staggering amount of $4 million. A significant $2.25 million will be awarded to the runner-up, and a cool $1.5 million to the third-place finisher. Even the golfer who finishes in fourth place will receive a whopping $1 million. Let’s take a look at the rest of the breakdown.

In addition to the individual competition, there’s a team event as well, with a $5 million purse. A whopping $3 million will be split by the winning squad. The squad in second place will get $1.5 million, while the team in third place will get $500,000.
