LIV Golf lured several players from the PGA Tour with its hefty paychecks. Notably, money has been one of the biggest motivators for the players on the Saudi circuit. In fact, the League didn’t only pay huge amounts to the golfers while signing deals with them but now also offers huge purses in each of their tournaments.

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.

Thanks to the no-cut events in LIV Golf, each player will take home something from the total purse. In fact, the last player in the 48-man field will easily make as much as $120,000. Here is how the payouts will be distributed individually among the golfers:

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!
