Full breakdown of LIV Golf Chicago prize money payouts

Cameron Smith earned $4 million for his win.

Five players finished the LIV Golf Invitational Series stop near Chicago in last place, T-44 at 6 over and a whopping 19 shots behind winner Cameron Smith. For their efforts they’ll each take home $124,000.

That’s the selling point for the upstart series led by Greg Norman and supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund: 54-hole, no cut events that offer massive contracts and paydays.

Smith carried his form from the PGA Tour to LIV, finishing T-4 in his first start at LIV Golf Boston and winning this week at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, by two shots over Dustin Johnson and Peter Uihlein. Smith’s $4 million payday trumps his three previous wins last season on the PGA Tour, where he earned $1.476 million for winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions, $2.5 million for winning the British Open and $3.6 million for winning the Players Championship.

2022 LIV Golf Boston prize money payouts for each player at The International

Dustin Johnson is taking home nearly $5 million.

Dustin Johnson earned nearly $5 million on Sunday.

He made an eagle putt on the first playoff hole to beat Anirban Lahiri and Joaquin Niemann and win the LIV Golf Invitational Boston event at The International in Bolton, Massachusetts. He earned $4 million for the individual victory, and his 4 Aces won the team title, too, netting Johnson an additional $750,000.

Sihwan Kim, who shot 87 in the first round, 63 in the second and finished with a 76 on Sunday for a 16 over total, earned $120,000.

Cameron Smith, the world No. 2, earned just over $1 million after finishing a shot outside of the playoff at 14 under in his first LIV event. It was the first playoff of the four LIV Golf events thus far. Four more are scheduled this year, with the next coming at Rich Harvest Farms in Chicago in two weeks.

2022 Tour Championship bonus money payouts for each PGA Tour player at East Lake Golf Club

Rory McIlroy is going home $18 million richer.

Rory McIlroy made history Sunday at East Lake.

McIlroy became the first golfer to win three FedEx Cups, as he came from six strokes behind to top Scottie Scheffler and Sungjae Im to win the Tour Championship in Atlanta. McIlroy shot 5-under 65 in the final round and finished at 21 under, beating Scheffler and Im by one shot. What’s even more impressive is McIlroy started the week with a triple bogey on his first hole.

Scheffler held at least a share of the lead the first 69 holes of the tournament, but a bogey on the par-4 16th dropped him out of the lead for the first time, and he wasn’t able to birdie either of the final two holes.

Nevertheless, both McIlroy and Scheffler are going home with big checks.

Here’s a look at the bonus money payouts for each player at the 2022 Tour Championship, the final event of the PGA Tour’s 2021-22 season.

PGA Tour prize money payouts: Top 10 money earners for the 2021-22 season

It pays to play well on the PGA Tour.

When fans talk about professional golf these days, it doesn’t take long for the conversation to move to the PGA Tour’s battle for supremacy against LIV Golf.

While the PGA Tour still holds an advantage in the talent department, there’s no doubting the financial power LIV wields thanks to their backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Even commissioner Jay Monahan has admitted he can’t compete financially with his LIV Golf adversaries, but that doesn’t mean the players on Tour are playing for peanuts.

While Scottie Scheffler set a season-long record with $14,046,910 in earnings, 126 players made more than $1 million in the Tour’s 2021-22 season, with the Tour reporting a player average of $1,621,221 in on-course earnings. Another 37 players made more than $500,000.

Check out just how much money the top players on Tour made this season.

Zalatoris made numerous clutch putts down the stretch, but none were bigger than his last on the third playoff hole for bogey that helped him beat Sepp Straka for his first victory.

2022 Wyndham Championship prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player at Sedgefield Country Club

Joohyung “Tom” Kim made $1.314 million in North Carolina for his first PGA Tour win.

It was a record-setting week for Joohyung “Tom” Kim.

The 20-year-old from South Korea entered the week playing on a Special Temporary Membership after his finish at the 150th British Open. He ended the week in the FedEx Cup playoffs, capturing his first-career PGA Tour victory and his seven professional win.

Kim shot an 8-under 27 on the front nine en route to his blistering round of 9-under 61, winning by five shots. He’s the first winner on the PGA Tour born in the 2000s and the second-youngest winner since World War II, trailing only Jordan Spieth at the 2013 John Deere Classic.

Kim’s victory is also special because dating to 1983, he became the first player on the PGA Tour to begin a tournament with a quadruple bogey to go on to win the event.

Here’s a look at the prize money payouts for each player at the 2022 Wyndham Championship, the final regular-season event of the PGA Tour’s 2021-22 season.

In Gee Chun, runner-up at the AIG Women’s British Open, pocketed $1,350,000 for winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

At the Amundi Evian Championship, Brooke Henderson made $1 million for winning her second career major. She won $525,000 when she won her first major six years ago.

South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai claimed the first-place prize of $1,095,000 after becoming the first woman to win a professional title at historic Muirfield. The 33-year-old has now earned $3,503,926 on the LPGA over the course of her 12-year career.

AIG Women’s British Open prize money purse increases to $7.3 million, up 26 percent over last year

This history this week at Muirfield won’t be limited to the course.

This history this week at Muirfield won’t be limited to the course. The R&A and AIG have announced an increase to the purse at the AIG Women’s British Open by 26 percent, to a new championship record $7.3 million. The first woman to win a professional title at historic Muirfield will receive $1,095,000.

The player who finishes second will earn $720,028.

The total purse for this event has increased 125 percent since AIG came on board as title sponsor.

“We are proud to be the title sponsor of the AIG Women’s Open and to serve as allies to women in golf, business and the communities where we live and work,” said Peter Zaffino, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of AIG.

“Thanks to our great partnership with The R&A, we continue to make progress on pay equity while raising the profile of women’s golf and showcasing the tremendous talent of the elite women athletes competing in this iconic championship.”

Martin Slumbers, chief executive of The R&A, reiterated that the progress in prize funds needs to be commercially sustainable.

“We are delighted that many of our Open patrons now also support the AIG Women’s Open,” said Slumbers, “but we need to unlock new supporters to make sure women’s golf is financially viable.

“This week is the show piece of the R&A’s commitment to women’s golf, but it goes much further than just this one week. It’s woven into all we do. We need to increase the number of women and girls, not only playing golf, but we also need to create opportunities for women in leadership.”

During his time with the press on Wednesday, Slumbers was asked to reflect on the progress that has been made since 2016, when the membership at Muirfield failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed to change the rule to admit women.

The club was actually removed from the R&A’s rotation of British Open host venues after that vote. The membership voted again in 2017 and pushed it through.

“I think 2016, it was an important time for this sport and for the R&A,” said Slumbers. “I had only been in the organization a few months. We had been working very hard on a strategy for the R&A that had inclusivity very much as a part of it. We were in the beginning stages of merging with the Ladies Golf Union, and frankly, that merger transformed the R&A into where we are today.

“I think that when you think back over that six-year period since then, women’s golf has really exploded, and it’s got a long way to go yet. But I do think that that time will be viewed as pivotal in that change.”

Earlier this year, the best female golfers in the world played for a record $10 million purse at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles, where the top two finishers earned seven-figure checks. The KPMG Women’s PGA increased its purse to $9 million this year.

AIG Women’s Open purse on the rise:

  • 2022 – $7.3 million
  • 2021 – $5.8 million
  • 2020 – $4.5 million
  • 2019 – $4.5 million (beginning of The R&A and AIG partnership)
  • 2018 – $3.25 million.

Full breakdown of Trump Bedminster’s LIV Golf Invitational Series prize money payout

Dustin Johnson’s 4 Aces are cleaning up at LIV events.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Jediah Morgan finished this week at 16 over, 27 shots behind winner Henrik Stenson at the LIV Golf Invitational Series event at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, and for his efforts he’ll take home $120,000.

Stenson won by two shots at 11 under and earned a whopping $4 million. Since turning pro in 1999, Stenson has eclipsed the $4 million mark just twice in his PGA Tour career.
