Immediately off the back of LIV Golf Riyadh to start the season, the much anticipated LIV Golf Adelaide has been taking place at The Grange Golf Club this week.

For the first time, LIV Golf Adelaide is being played over four days so Ripper GC can draw on an extra round of support as they aim to seal a second team prize on Australian soil after their maiden triumph in 2024.

Winning the team title - where all four players' scores are added up across each of the four rounds - will lead to a $3 million payout from a grand total of $10 million. It is believed that the team rewards are pumped back into each franchise as opposed to being shared out among the roster.

Meanwhile, the individual payout goes directly to the player, and there's an awful lot of money to be dished out thanks to a $20 million prize purse at LIV Golf Adelaide.

The player who lifts the individual trophy will also bank $4 million, but they won't keep anywhere near that figure thanks to various factors like taxes and bonuses owed to their caddie.

With one round to play, two of the team captains, Legion XIII's Jon Rahm and Crushers GC's Bryson DeChambeau, shared the lead at 19 under.

Finishing second gives a player a check for over $2 million initially while ending third ($1.5 million) and fourth ($1 million) rewards pros with at least seven figures to start with.

Additionally, LIV has introduced a new mini pot of $2.3 million to be allocated to players on the top-three teams at each tournament.

In theory, the prizes of $1 million, $800,000 and $500,000 could be given to the leading player on the corresponding team's roster, but LIV noted that “captains can allocate to their team players as they wish.”

Not to mention, anyone who finishes inside the top-10 will pick up at least $400,000 as well as the limited number of OWGR points on offer to LIV players. Those outside may not collect any OWGR points, but the no-cut competition rewards everyone in the field with at least $50,000 no matter what.

Below is the complete prize money breakdown for LIV Golf Adelaide 2026 with the maximum amount listed for each position before ties are taken into account.
