LIV Golf Virginia Full Individual And Team Prize Money Payout 2026
LIV Golf's first tournament of the year in the United States offers up its latest eight-figure prize money purse as Joaquin Niemann aims to defend his title
The LIV Golf League continues to make headlines regarding its long-term future, but for the time being there is a tournament to be played and another mind-boggling pile of cash to be won.
LIV Golf Virginia is the PIF-backed circuit's first US stop of the year and has been taking place at Trump National DC after Robert Trent Jones Golf Club hosted for Joaquin Niemann's victory in 2025.
The Chilean hasn't won in 2026, and that is all but certain to continue as he was 12 behind leader Lucas Herbert with one round to play.
Whoever manages to win will take home the usual $4 million from a total purse of $20 million on the individual side. Second ($2.25 million), third ($1.5 million) and fourth ($1 million) can also scoop extraordinary amounts as well.
Due to LIV's no-cut nature, each of the 57 pros involved will take home at least $50,000, with 46th and above earning over $126,000.
As it relates to the team purse, there is $10 million on the line. Players don't directly receive any of this money, though, but they will take a share at the end of the season if their franchise is in profit. Team money goes towards developing the franchise as well as several other costs the roster might incur.
Then there is the $2.3 million bonus payout for one player on each of the top three teams at the end of the week. Team captains decide who takes home the payouts of $1 million, $800,000 and $500,000, with the leading scorer from each club most likely to benefit.
