However, even this trial for the upcoming season is not without interesting monetary benefits for the cream of its 73-player playing field. Apart from having a shot at a future of financial bliss, LIV Golf has made sure the famous pros teeing it up at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club are paid for their time and energy. Let’s dive in to know the interesting monetary benefits the players in the top spots will enjoy at LIV Golf’s Promotions Tournament, along with the winner’s share!

Saudi Arabia’s PIF-backed league is all set to launch its 2024 season. In fact, the money and energy that LIV Golf is putting into the promotions for their upcoming season find no parallel. With a prize purse in the millions and an opportunity to win three spots in the upcoming bountiful season, the LIV Golf Promotions Tournament remains one of the hottest choices in the golf world.

Maybe this is why the tournament’s roster also boasts some major names from the golf world, teeing it up from December 8th till December 10th. Out of the 73-player playing field, the winner’s payout will be a massive $200,000. The runner-up will earn $150,000, whereas the second runner-up will earn $100,000. All three top players will earn a seat in the upcoming LIV Golf season, along with expected hefty sums of contract money. However, it is expected that it will not be as enticing as the current big names on LIV Golf.

One of the major reasons why LIV Golf’s Promotions Tournament is getting such massive recognition from the golf world is the PGA Tour’s highly criticized disdain when it comes to payouts for players finishing in lower ranks. LIV Golf treats even the players who did not finish in the top places with honorable sums of money for their attempts. For instance, at the LIV Golf Promotions, even amateur golfers who won’t finish in top positions will be handed out a fair sum of $1,000 for making an effort.

Interestingly, the Saudi-backed league took a step away from the norm, where there was no prize money share for anyone who did not make it to the final day. Upon a failure to progress to the second round, LIV Golf will award a sum of $5,000 to the players, and those who miss the cut for reaching the final round will earn $10,000. So what is the prize money breakdown?

However, the distribution is not limited to the top players and is inclusive of the needs of all those who will play in this intrigue-filled tournament.

Even though the purse is comparatively smaller than at other LIV Golf events, this is the breakdown of the prize money that each of the top 20 finishers will receive:
