Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore is one of the longest-standing venues in the LIV Golf League. It was back for more for the third time.
In 2023, Talor Gooch won the event at an extremely popular venue used on the DP World Tour. In 2024, Brooks Koepka beat Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman by two shots.
On each occasion, Gooch and Koepka banked $4 million for winning the event and this is the staple purse for a tournament winner in the LIV Golf League since it was born in 2022. Joaquin Niemann stormed to Singapore success in 2025, carding a six-under-score in the final round to beat Brooks Koepka by five shots. He also picked up $4 million.
The LIV Golf Singapore event was booked in the same week as the Players Championship on the PGA Tour, which coincidentally is the biggest purse on the US circuit.
So far in the LIV Golf League, a variety of players have starred. Adrian Meronk won the season-opener in Riyadh, Joaquin Niemann won in Adelaide and Sergio Garcia won in Hong Kong. Niemann has doubled his tally for 2025.
The Players Championship now carries a purse of $25 million. It is the flagship event on the PGA Tour and it accommodates a larger field than many other PGA Tour events, and certainly a LIV Golf event. There is also a cut, so although the purses are similar in these tournaments, there is a little difference.

There were no DP World Tour events or LPGA Tour events in the same week, but there was a Ladies European Tour event. They headed down under for the Australia Women’s Classic which pays out €300,000, which is probably good for about mid-table in Singapore or at TPC Sawgrass.

While the payouts for LIV Golf events are $20 million, the complete total is $25 million as there is $5 million divided among the winning teams. In 2025, Fireballs GC won by three shots and earned the lion’s share of the team earnings. They earned $750,000 each but that is invested back in the team.
The four-man squad in second place, Legion XIII, earned $375,000 a piece and the team in third, 4Aces, earned $125,000 each, but as we’ve said, this figure gets invested back into the team. It is believed it doesn’t go in the players’ pockets.
The prize money figures and results of LIV Golf’s event at Sentosa are below. Let’s examine the purses of the events on the corresponding tours in the same week: the PGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.
