Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 LIV Golf League Nashville
It’s Bryson DeChambeau’s world. Everyone else is just living in it.
The U.S. Open champion has had several days to celebrate his second major championship title and, by most accounts, he’s made the rounds. He said he left Pinehurst after midnight on Sunday and on Monday he showed up in New York City and appeared on the “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” among other places. He also partied with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and was seen wandering the streets of downtown Nashville holding the U.S. Open trophy.
But it’s time to get back to business as LIV Golf now heads to The Grove for its ninth event of the year. The field is competing for its usual $20 million purse with the winner taking home $4 million for the victory. The winning team will split $3 million.
Joaquin Niemann leads the league’s individual standings, having won two of the first three events of the season. Jon Rahm, despite not winning an event, is in second place. He withdrew from the U.S. Open last week because of a foot infection.
DeChambeau, oddly, is all the way down in 15th place in the standings with only one top-five finish in eight events. We’ll see if the U.S. Open momentum helps him for the rest of the season.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week in Nashville. Check back here shortly after play is complete for updates
