LIV Golf returns to the course this week with its season-opening event under the lights at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. It’s offering a $30 million total purse, with $4 to the individual winner and $10 million set aside for the team competition.

Not sure if you’ve heard, but LIV Golf made a few headlines in its offseason, including a change to 72-hole events, the departure of major-winners Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed, and a ruling from the Official World Golf Ranking, which will now award points to the top-10 finishers at each LIV event.

The team-event prize boost to $10 million is double the money from 2025 events, and for the first time all 13 teams will receive cash prizes.

Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau headline this week’s field, as they will at most fields at LIV Golf, and they’re inarguably the league’s two biggest stars. Ten players are making their LIV Golf debut this week: Thomas Detry, Victor Perez, Michael La Sasso, Ben An, Minkyu Kim, Younghan Song, Elvis Smylie, Yosuke Asaji, Bjorn Hellgren and Richard Lee.

Here are the payouts for LIV Golf Riyadh. This article will be udpated at the conclusion of play.
