The fifth LIV Golf event of 2022 is taking place this weekend at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, just outside Chicago. The event will run from Friday, Sept. 16 to Sunday, Sept. 18.
The golfers are competing for a share of a $20 million purse in the individual competition as well as a $5 million purse for the team competition. The winner will take home $4 million, and the runner-up will receive just over $2 million.
The LIV golfers also received the equivalent of signing bonuses when they agreed to join the new Saudi-backed league. While the amounts vary from golfer to golfer, these bonuses are not affected by their performances, and are rumored to go up to the hundred-million-plus mark for the most coveted signings, including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.
