Which Tour Pays More? Prize Money Breakdown: June 26–29

Key takeaways from last week’s prize money distribution across professional golf tours:

• LIV Golf once again led the prize money rankings this past week. The winner claimed a staggering $4,000,000, more than double the PGA Tour champion’s prize ($1,728,000).
• A 10th-place finish on LIV earned $423,750 – more than the LPGA winner’s check and close to the PGA Tour’s 5th-pkace payout.
• Even the last-place finisher in LIV earned $50,000 – significantly more than the bottom payouts on the PGA Tour ($16,608) and Korn Ferry Tour ($3,800).
• The DP World Tour and HotelPlanner Tour continue to trail behind in overall prize distribution, especially at the lower ranks.

These figures highlight LIV Golf’s continued financial advantage over traditional tours.
