LIV Golf runs roughly 14 events across the calendar year at premium golf courses around the world. Individual and team standings accumulate across all events. At the end of the season, the top individual performer and top team each win championships.
Each event pays the same prize structure: $25 million total, with $4 million to the individual winner and additional team prize money. The season-ending team championship is the LIV Golf League's marquee event.
