How much is the purse at LIV Golf Nashville this week?

Nashville is the ninth tournament on LIV’s 14-event schedule and the first to be held in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — LIV Golf is heading to this music haven 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.

Nashville is the ninth tournament on LIV’s 14-event schedule and the first to be held in Tennessee. Play runs Friday through Sunday. Saturday is sold out but other tickets are available here.

The no-cut format includes 54 individuals and 13 teams. There will be a 12:15 p.m. shotgun start each day.

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 tournament payouts and huge financial contracts have helped recruit former PGA Tour members and major championship winners DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Brooks Koepka, Louis Oosthuizen, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, Cameron Smith, Henrik Stenson 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.

Rahm withdrew from the U.S. Open with a toe injury. He is scheduled to participate in a pre-tournament media session Wednesday morning.

Here is the LIV Golf Nashville purse, and payouts for individuals and teams.

2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 features a record purse. Here’s the breakdown

It pays to be the national champion, and the USGA announced just how much on Saturday.

PINEHURST, N.C. — It pays to be the national champion, and the USGA announced just how much on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Mike Whan, the CEO of the United States Golf Association, announced that the purse for the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 was going up to $21.5 million, a $1.5 million increase from last year. In addition, the winner will take home $4.3 million, up from $4 million in 2023.

Three amateurs — Luke Clanton, Neal Shipley and Gunnar Broin — made the weekend, but amateurs aren’t allowed to receive prize money. The 69 professionals who didn’t make the cut receive $10,000.

To put this in perspective, the winner of the first U.S. Open in 1895 took home $150.

Former Alabama golfer, Lee Hodges, earns first PGA Tour victory

Former Alabama golfer Lee Hodges earns first PGA Tour win at 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Minnesota

Former Alabama golfer, Lee Hodges, earned his first win on the PGA Tour Sunday after beating the field by seven strokes at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. The 28-year-old Hodges led the tournament wire to wire after shooting a remarkable 24 under par over the course of the weekend.

Hodges is one of seven former Crimson Tide golfers to be on the PGA Tour with the group being headlined by Justin Thomas. The purse for the Open was $7.8 million. His career winnings on the tour are $3.6 million.

Hodges joined the Tour in 2022 with the 3M Open this weekend being his 65th career event and only his second top-five finish. Hodges was born and raised in Ardmore, Alabama.

How much money goes to the Belmont Stakes winner and what’s the purse?

Here’s how the $1.5 million purse will be divided up.

The third and final leg of horse racing’s triple crown, the 2022 Belmont Stakes wraps up what’s been an undeniably wild spring at the track.

First it was Rich Strike pulling off an 80-1 upset at the Kentucky Derby. Then the thoroughbred withdrew from the Preakness Stakes as Early Voting gave trainer Chad Brown his second victory at Pimlico.

Rich Strike finally drew back into the field on Saturday in Elmont, New York—but now Early Voting is sitting out the event.

Even without a showdown between the two Derby and Preakness winners, there’s plenty on the line at the Belmont. That includes a purse totaling $1.5 million.

Here’s how it breaks down:

2022 Belmont Stakes Payouts

  1. $800,000
  2. $280,000
  3. $150,000
  4. $100,000
  5. $60,000

Korn Ferry Tour to significantly increase purses, with a $1 million minimum by 2023

The Korn Ferry Tour will significantly increase its purses over the next two years, with a $1 million minimum for all events by 2023.

On Tuesday the Korn Ferry Tour announced it would significantly increase its purses over the next two seasons.

How significant, you ask? Each event will feature a purse of at least $1 million by 2023.

The minimum figure for Korn Ferry Tour regular-season purses will increase by $150,000 to $750,000 in 2022. In 2023, the minimum will rise another $250,000 to $1 million, a 66.7 percent increase over two years.

The 2021 Pinnacle Bank Championship, the tour’s regular season finale at The Club at Indian Creek in Omaha, Nebraska, will see its purse increase by $100,000 to $850,000 in 2022 and another $400,000 to $1.25 million in 2023, another 66.7 percent increase.

Each of the three events in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals currently features a $1 million purse this season. In 2023, the purse for all three will increase to $1.5 million.

“The Korn Ferry Tour continues to play a massive role in delivering a pipeline of future stars to the PGA Tour on a consistent basis. Today’s announcement is another step in ensuring the Tour will continue to attract the best young talent while providing higher-quality playing opportunities for the entire membership,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin.

The purse increases were originally planned for 2021 after being approved by the Policy Board at the March 2020 meeting, but were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
