The LIV Golf 2024 season landed in Dallas for its annual team championship, which closes out LIV's third year. The team event is offering a $50 million purse, with $14 million to the winning squad.
That first-place prize needs a little more context this time, as the individual team members will bank $1.4 million each (or 40% of the prize), with the rest of the money awarded to the franchise itself. That same structure will be used for the rest of the payouts, with 60% of the prizes going into each team's pool.
Match play craziness struck early in the event, as the Iron Heads defeated Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC in the semifinals to end the 2023 champs' bid to repeat. Danny Lee defeated DeChambeau 2 up in their match.
Sunday's final was stroke play with all players' scores counting, with the Iron Heads, 4Aces, Legion XIII (despite Jon Rahm out with illness) and Ripper GC comprising the championship tier. The all-Australian Ripper, captained by Cam Smith, prevailed at 11 under, three shots ahead of the 4Aces and IronHeads.
