Similarly, LIV Golf Tulsa also features a total purse of $25 million. Out of this gigantic amount, the winner will pocket $4 million along with the title. And since the Saudi League is extensively known for its team concept, $3 million will go to the winning team, followed by the runner-up team making $1.5 million, and lastly, $500,000 to the team that finishes third.

Will LIV Golf players receive world ranking points?
Despite all his attempts to make it happen, Greg Norman failed drastically when it came to gaining access to world-ranking points for his players. According to OWGR, LIV doesn’t meet the criteria required to earn access to points on the leaderboard. And therefore, the positions of Saudi players have been falling terribly with each passing tournament.

Thankfully, despite all the controversy, LIV stars were allowed to participate in major tournaments, including the Masters and now the upcoming PGA Championship. And this has given the players a chance to regain their authority on the OWGR leaderboard once again!
