LIV Golf South Africa Final Payouts, Prize Money, Winnings: Bryson DeChambeau Wins

LIV Golf bounced over to South Africa this week for another full-field event with a $30 million payout, and what a show it delivered for massive crowds in Johannesburg.
The league's first event on the continent saw a playoff between its two biggest stars as Bryson DeChambeau beat Jon Rahm in a playoff. DeChambeau's Crushers GC also grabbed the team title, just ahead of the all-South African Southern Guards team of Louis Oosthuizen, Dean Burmester, Branden Grace and Charl Schwartzel.
DeChambeau won for the second consecutive week in LIV Golf, having also won in a playoff in Singapore, and his next start will be the Masters next month. Rahm, of course a former Masters champion, will also arrive in form.
Here are the final payouts for the 2026 LIV Golf South Africa event.
