Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 LIV Golf League United Kingdom event

Jon Rahm Secures LIV Golf Victory at the 2024 United Kingdom Event

The 2024 LIV Golf League United Kingdom event held at the JCB Golf & Country Club witnessed a dramatic finish that highlighted both individual brilliance and the complexities of team dynamics. Jon Rahm emerged victorious, clinching his first LIV Golf title with a commanding 13-under-par performance. This win, coupled with the victory for his team, Legion XIII, brought a considerable share of the prize money to Rahm and his teammates.

 

As the final round unfolded, Rahm showcased an impressive level of consistency and skill, finishing at 13 under par. The victory was particularly sweet for Rahm, marking his first triumph since the 2023 Masters. Despite his personal success, Rahm faced a bittersweet moment as his teammate Tyrrell Hatton missed a crucial putt that could have tied the score and led to a playoff. Hatton, who had been in contention throughout the tournament, faltered with a missed putt from less than four feet, allowing Rahm to secure the win and a significant paycheck of $4 million from the $20 million total purse.

 

In addition to his individual prize, Rahm’s Legion XIII team, which included Hatton, Caleb Surratt, and Kieran Vincent, also triumphed in the team competition. The squad’s performance of 26 under par earned them the team honors and a share of $3 million. This collective achievement not only highlighted the strength of their team but also demonstrated the strategic depth of LIV Golf’s team format.

 

The runner-up positions were highly contested, with Tyrrell Hatton, Joaquin Niemann, and Cameron Smith all finishing tied for second place at 12 under par. Each of these players earned $1,583,333, reflecting their strong performances throughout the tournament. Hatton’s near victory was marred by the final putt miss, which left him sharing second place rather than claiming the top spot.

 

Paul Casey, another notable competitor, finished in fifth place with a score of 10 under par, earning $800,000. Casey’s consistent play throughout the event positioned him as a strong contender, but he fell short of the top positions.

 

The rest of the leaderboard featured a mix of established names and rising stars. Cameron Tringale, Matt Wolff, Talor Gooch, Louis Oosthuizen, and Andy Ogletree all finished tied for sixth place at 9 under par, each taking home $534,500. Their performance underscored the depth of talent in the field and the competitive nature of the event.

 

Several other golfers made notable performances, with Bryson DeChambeau, Charl Schwartzel, and David Puig all finishing tied for 11th place at 8 under par, each earning $360,000. Their strong showings were significant but ultimately not enough to break into the top ten.

 

The event also saw a number of golfers in the mid-pack, including Richard Bland and Peter Uihlein, who both finished tied for 14th place at 7 under par and received $310,000 each. Further down, Adrian Meronk, Abraham Ancer, Scott Vincent, Brooks Koepka, and others battled for position, with Meronk, Ancer, Vincent, and Koepka all tying for 16th place at 6 under par, each earning $266,250.

 

The event’s lower placements included Harold Varner III, Lionel Herbert, Dustin Johnson, and Sergio Garcia, who all finished tied for 20th place at 5 under par, each securing $225,000. Matt Jones, Dean Burmester, and Sebastian Munoz, tied for 24th place at 4 under par, earned $195,000 each.

 

Patrick Reed, Ian Poulter, Thomas Pieters, Graeme McDowell, and Jason Kokrak were among the players who finished at 3 under par, with Reed and Poulter tied for 27th place, and Pieters, McDowell, and Kokrak all sharing the same position, each taking home $182,500.

 

The event also saw several players ending their week with mixed results. Jinichiro Kozuma finished 33rd at 1 under par with a payout of $155,000, while a cluster of golfers, including John Catlin, Phil Mickelson, Mito Pereira, Kalle Samooja, and Sam Horsfield, all ended the tournament even par, sharing $145,000 each.

 

As the LIV Golf League season approaches its final stretch, the United Kingdom event stands out as a significant milestone. With three events remaining, including the upcoming tournament at Greenbrier in West Virginia from August 16-18, the season promises more thrilling competitions and strategic battles as players and teams vie for their final standings.

 

The team aspect of LIV Golf has added a new dimension to the sport, and the results from this event illustrate how both individual skill and teamwork play crucial roles in achieving success. As the league moves forward, fans and players alike will be eager to see how the remainder of the season unfolds and who will emerge as the ultimate champions.
