The 13th and final regular event of the LIV Golf season is taking place at The Club at Chatham Hills. There, 54 players are competing for a share of the huge prize fund.
As with the previous 12 events this season, a total of $25m is on offer, with $20m shared among the 54 players and the remaining $5m distributed between the top three teams.
Dean Burmester claimed the top prize of $4m in the previous event, LIV Golf Chicago, and this week’s winner will earn an identical sum. The runner-up has the considerable consolation of $2.25m in prize money.
The player finishing third is in line for a $1.5m payday, with $1m going to the player finishing fourth.
As a no-cut event, there will be prize money for all 54 players, with even the man stranded at the foot of the leaderboard claiming $50,000.
Burmester’s Stinger GC won the team event in Chicago, banking $3m, with Torque GC claiming $1.5m for placing second and 4 Aces GC $500,000 for coming third and the top three teams this week with bank the same amount.
The season-long individual championship will also be complete after the tournament.

The Individual Champion will claim a bonus payout of $18m, with the runner-up banking $8m and the player in third winning $4m.
Aside from the financial rewards, plenty more is at stake at the tournament.
As well as the challenge for honors at the top of the Individual Championship, relegation issues will be decided at the bottom, with one big name in danger of the drop being Majesticks GC’s Ian Poulter.
In the team standings, the battle is on to finish as high up as possible for a better seeding in the season-closing Team Championship.

The bottom two teams after this week’s tournament will also face a play-in match on Wednesday, with the loser taking no further part in the $50m event. Currently, Majesticks GC and Iron Heads GC are in the two lowest spots.
