LIV Golf is making its 10th stop of the year, this week at venerable Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup among other big events over the past three decades. Last year Talor Gooch topped Bryson DeChambeau by a shot to claim the victory.
The field will play for its customary $20 million overall purse, with the winner taking home $4 million for his victory on Sunday.
Joaquin Niemann, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are the top three on the league’s season standings, with Niemann winning two of the first three events of the year. He tied for third place in the last event in Nashville. Rahm has not yet won a LIV event, but he has three third-place finishes and hasn’t finished worse than 10th in each even he’s played. Hatton won in Nashville, the week after the U.S. Open.
DeChambeau, the U.S. Open winner from last month at Pinehurst, is 12th in the season-long standings and has only two top-five finishes in nine events. However, DeChambeau’s team, the Crushers, leads the team standings over Rahm’s Legion XIII squad. Charles Howell, Anirban Lahiri and Paul Casey are on the Crushers.
Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer this week at Valderrama. Check back here shortly after play is complete on Sunday for updates.
