Here’s the prize money payout for each team at the 2022 LIV Golf Team Championship in Miami

By GolfDigestME.com
In the first seven events of LIV Golf’s inaugural season, the circuit paid prize money payouts of $25 million combined for its individual and team competitions. For its eighth and final event of 2022, the tour doubled that.

The overall purse for the LIV Golf Team Championship — Miami was $50 million, with the four-man team that won on Sunday — the 4 Aces — earning $16 million to split among its members—Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Talor Gooch and Pat Perez.

This week’s event was solely a team competition, played at Trump National Doral in Florida, and it employed a unique format. On Friday, the four highest-seeded teams among the 12 total received byes. The remaining eight teams competed in a head-to-head match-play bracket with the teams playing a mix of singles and foursome matches.

The four winning teams on Friday advanced to Saturday to face the top four seeds, playing the same format from Friday. The four winning teams on Saturday then advanced to Sunday, where the format changed. All players on all four teams played stroke play, with all four members’ scores counting toward the team total.

In the end, the 4 Aces, the No. 1 seeds entering the championship, pulled out the victory on Sunday. Johnson, Reed and Perez all shot two-under 70s and Gooch has a one-under 71. The team’s seven-under aggregate was one stroke lower than Punch, which saw Cameron Smith shoot the day’s best score overall (seven-under 65). However, Matt Jones and Marc Leishman stumbled with matching two-over 74s while Wade Ormsby could only shoot one-under 71.

By pocketing another $4 million, Johnson increased his on-course LIV earnings for 2022 to $35,637,767. That includes a $18 million bonus for being the top player in the circuit’s season-long points race in 2022 but doesn’t include the reported $150 million guaranteed for him just to sign with the league.

“It’s been amazing,” Johnson said. “This week’s been incredible. This whole season has gotten better and better and obviously this finale has been unbelievable.”
