LIV Golf continues to lean all in on making team golf a thing, highlighted this week with the league’s season finale at the Cardinal at St. John’s in Plymouth. There were no individual titles on the line—Jon Rahm wrapped that up last week—just team bragging rights as all 13 squads competed for an impressive $50 million purse. The winning foursome, Rahm’s Legion XIII team with Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin and Caleb Surratt, gets to take home a prize money payout of $14 million. They topped Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers squad in a playoff.

And just how was a team champion crowned? The format for this year’s competition was a little different than year’s past. After Majesticks GC defeated Ironheads GC in Wednesday’s play-in match, six quarterfinal matches will were played on Friday with the winning teams facing off in the semifinal round on Saturday. Those two rounds were contested in match play, with one foursomes alternate-shot match and two singles matches deciding the winning sides.

On Sunday, the competition returned to stroke play with the three winning semifinal teams—Legion XIII, Crushers, Stinger—vying for the championship title. All four scores counted, with the team with the lowest aggregate score being crowned the winner, in this case it was Legion XIII.

Here’s the prize money payout for each team at this week’s event.
