The sixth LIV Golf event of the season took place in Adelaide, and, like the other tournaments in the regular season, a purse of $25m was on offer, with $20m distributed among the players and another $5m invested in the top three teams.
Even with the PGA Tour's signature events, which regularly offer purses of $20m or more, there is no other circuit that promises greater financial rewards than LIV Golf, with even those finishing bottom of the leaderboard guaranteed payment.
Chilean Joaquin Niemann remains at the top of the money list thanks largely to a flying start to the season that included two wins in the first three events. After another solid performance at LIV Golf Adelaide, which finished with a T3, he also claimed $920,000 to boost his prize money to $10,365,500 for the year so far.
Second is Dean Burmester, who entered the latest event on the back of victory at LIV Golf Miami. He also finished T3 in Adelaide to claim the $920,000 that takes his prize money to almost $7m in 2024.
After Brendan Steele claimed his maiden LIV Golf win in Australia, he has seen a huge jump up the money list, from 41st to seventh as his earnings for the year soared to almost $5m.
The other winners this year are Dustin Johnson, who is sixth on the list helped by his victory at LIV Golf Las Vegas, and LIV Golf Hong Kong winner Abraham Ancer, who is third. As well as $4m for that victory, he finished T9 in the latest event to add another $385,500 to his overall earnings of $5,496,000.
Louis Oosthuizen finished runner-up to Steele to claim $2,250,000 and move up to fifth on the money list with $5,450,000 for the year, while another big name in the top 10 is Jon Rahm, who produced a sixth successive top-10 finish at The Grange Golf Club with a T3. That earned him another $920,000 to leave him 10th.

Following the six events so far, there are now 43 LIV Golf players with winnings of over $1m this season, with Scott Vincent taking up the last of those places on $1,012,036.00.
Further down the money list are big names including former World No.1 Lee Westwood on $735,717 and Anthony Kim $210,000.
Here is how the list of earnings for the 2024 season currently stands.
