It's been a long and awkward summer for the LIV Golf League, especially off the course, but following a break of almost two months the focus has returned to live action.

LIV Golf has been back in the country it all started as JCB Golf and Country Club welcomed the latest 57-man field to England for a four-day individual and team event.

Joaquin Niemann claimed the seventh of his eight career LIV Golf wins here last year, with other former winners including Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith and Charl Schwartzel in 2022.

For whoever follows that list of huge players in 2026, there is a massive payout heading their way. As usual, in the individual competition, there is $20 million on the line - $4 million of which will go to the champion.

But should their team also finish inside the top-three, the respective captain might believe they are worthy of picking up the $1 million bonus check LIV introduced in 2026. There are checks for $800,000 and $500,000 via that bonus category as well.

Team earnings are split between the franchises, not by players, so any money earned via their collective finish will not go towards an individual's takeaway.

Nevertheless, there is big money available in the team event as well, with $10 million shared out between the 13 golf clubs in action.

While these numbers are deeply impressive, every player involved will be able to relate to contenders at The Open last week - and especially the winner - who saw their take-home pay total significantly reduced compared to the headline numbers below.

Nevertheless, you can find out the maximum prize money payout for each position at LIV Golf UK before ties are taken into account below.
