What is the purse for LIV Golf’s team match play event at Trump National Doral Miami?
The purse for LIV Golf’s team match play event in Doral, Miami, is one of the richest purses that has ever been seen in professional golf history
LIV Golf’s season-ending championship event that takes place from Oct. 27-20, is set to have one of the richest purses in the history of professional golf. According to ESPN, LIV golfers will compete for an enormous purse of $50 million when they take to Trump National Doral in Miami.
How seeding is determined at LIV season-ending championship
In a variety of competitions including head-to-head knockouts and match play, twelve four-man teams will be competing. Seeding teams from 1-12, the top four seeds will receive a bye to the quarterfinals. The other eight will compete in qualifying rounds. Seeding is determined by a closest-to-the-pin shootout, which will take place after the teams are drafted.
Massive money at final event of LIV Golf season
The team in first place is slated to collect $16 million, while the runners-up will take home $10 million. The third place will receive $8 million and fourth place will bank $4 million. The teams that finish 5th-9th will land $2 million, and the last three placed teams will take home $1 million between them.
This is a huge statement from LIV, especially after the PGA Tour raised the purse of the Tour Championship to an unprecedented $75 million, of which winner Rory McIlroy took home $18 million.

But while the money is massive, it is not enough to keep LIV Golf players around in events organised by the PGA Tour. All players who converted to the Saudi-backed tour are ineligible to participate in any of the PGA Tour events, including the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
