Is LIV Golf's prize money making traditional golf tournaments look outdated and less rewarding?

The Asian Tour is back with the ninth event of the season! Scheduled from August 8 to August 11, the International Series England will be played at the Par 72 Foxhills (Longcross Course), which is 6730 yards long. The first three rounds have already concluded and 65 pros made the cut on Friday.

Last year, Andy Ogletree defeated Ian Poulter by a whopping seven strokes and took home the trophy. This year, Peter Uihlein will enter the Sunday round with a solo lead, one stroke ahead of Varner Harold III. Richard Bland, meanwhile, is at T3 tied with America’s Surratt Caleb, two strokes away from Uihlein. What will he take home if he wins at the 2024 International Series England?

The 2024 International Series England has a total purse of a whopping $2 million. Out of which, the winner will be entitled to take home $360,000, the highest portion of the total purse. The runner-up and the second runner-up will be getting $220,000, and $126,000, respectively. Here’s what every player on the field will be taking home after the ultimate round concludes today:
