LIV Golf has returned for 2026 with a multitude of changes finally in operation on the PIF-backed circuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only have we seen 72 holes for the first time at Riyadh Golf Club this week, but a handful of fresh faces have been competing in the team competition for the first time as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is also the new dynamic of Official World Golf Ranking points on offer<\/a> for anyone who ends the four-day event inside the top-10.<\/p>\n

And then there’s the money. LIV announced an increase in the weekly prize pot, which includes payouts to individual players and teams, from $25 million to $30 million.<\/p>\n

Additionally, LIV has introduced a new mini pot of $2.3 million to be allocated to players on the top-three teams at each tournament.<\/p>\n

In theory, the prizes of $1 million, $800,000 and $500,000 could be given to the leading player on the corresponding team’s roster, but LIV noted that \u201ccaptains can allocate to their team players as they wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

As far as the individual payouts go, though, finishing anywhere in the top-eight will reward players with the same prize as 2025 with $4 million handed to the winner, $2.25m going to the runner-up and $1.5 million being paid out to third.<\/p>\n

However, ninth and 10th position have seen marginal increases after LIV tweaked its payout for the bottom positions.<\/p>\n

Previously, ending an individual event in the high-40s or low-50s secured pros at least $60,000, whereas LIV has now changed its weekly payout to ensure that anyone who finishes 47th-57th each week will collect a flat fee of $50,000.<\/p>\n

Another new addition from LIV for 2026 is the introduction of prize money for every team each week.<\/p>\n

2025 saw only the top-three sides earn anything to pump back into their franchises, but now clubs are guaranteed to pick up $200,000 even if they finish last. The top prize for winning the team competition at each LIV event is $3 million.<\/p>\n

Below is the complete prize money breakdown for LIV Golf Riyadh 2026, with the maximum amount listed for each position before ties are taken into account.<\/p>\n
