LIV Golf Season Finale Total Prize Money Cut in Half

The total individual prize money for the Indianapolis tournament, which is the final event of the 2026 LIV Golf season, has been reduced to half of the amount offered at previous events.

According to the golf specialized media outlet Golf Digest on the 19th (KST), LIV Golf posted the total prize money for the season finale, kicking off on the 21st, at $10.1 million, with $2 million going to the winner.

This represents a halving compared to the New York tournament that concluded on the 11th, which featured a total purse of $20 million and a $4 million winner's share.

The Indianapolis tournament, held this week at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana, became the season finale after the Team Championship in Michigan, originally scheduled for the last week of August, was canceled.

As LIV Golf faces financial difficulties following the withdrawal of backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), reports have recently emerged consecutively stating that the organization has failed to pay players' prize money on time and has been unable to pay broadcasting fees to broadcasting partners.
