LIV Golf Miami Team Championship prize money
By Matt Coles
There is a lot of money on offer. A LOT! Who will get what this week in Miami…?
It was the season-finale and there is $50 million on offer. How much prize money did each team and player get at the LIV Golf Miami Team Championship?
Once again, the last event of the LIV Golf League season had one of the biggest prize purses in the sport.
Trump National Doral played host to the competition, where $50 million was split between the 12 teams and 48 golfers.
4Aces GC were aiming to win for a second consecutive year, having lifted the Team Championship trophy in 2022.
However, it was Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC that were the victors after posting a team score of -11 on the final day in Miami.
What was the breakdown for the prize money at the LIV Golf Team Championship?
A total of $50 million was split between the teams and players in action following the week’s action in Miami.
Like all events, the winners took home the most money, with that incrementally decreasing all the way down to the team that finishes 12th.
That fund was split 60-40. 60% was the team’s winnings, with the 40% then being split four ways for the players of that team.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
