The LIV Golf League concludes its 2024 season by leaning into its team format, hosting the LIV Golf Team Championship at Maridoe Golf Club outside of Dallas. And to say the event is lucrative is, well, an understatement. A total of $50 million is on the line with the four-man team that wins on Sunday earning $14 million.

As was the case in previous years, the prize money for this final championship of the year is split 60 percent toward the team to cover team expenses and 40 percent toward the players. So here’s how the purse breakdown looks for what will happen with the winning team on Sunday.

Winning team: $14 million

Team share: $8.4 million (60 percent)

Players share: $1.4 million per player

Similarly, the prize money earned by all other teams will shake out to 60 percent going to the “team” and 40 percent to the players for their week’s work.

The format for the team event at Maridoe is, well, slightly tricky to follow. Friday’s play involved the Nos. 4-13 teams from the season-long standings. The top seeds from those teams chose who they would face in the quarterfinal.

The team that earns two or more points advances to Saturday’s semifinals, where they face the Nos. 1-3 seeds, who had byes. A similar match-play format is used to determine the four winners.

Interestingly there were some surprising upsets during Friday’s quarterfinals as the two lowest seeded teams, No. 13 Iron Heads (captained by Kevin Na) and No. 12 HyFlyers (captained by Phil Mickelson), upset No. 4 Smash (Brooks Koepka) and No. 5 Torque (Joaquin Niemann), respectively. No seeded team lower than 11th had won in the first two years of the Team Championship. The Iron Heads and HyFlyers are two of the three LIV Golf teams that have never won a tournament.

“We’ve shown that in match play, anything can happen,” said Iron Heads Captain Kevin Na, whose club was 0-6 in quarterfinal matches the first two seasons.

Here’s how the match-ups for Saturday’s semifinals shake out:

1. CRUSHERS GC vs. 13. IRON HEADS GC Singles 1: Paul Casey (Crushers) vs. Scott Vincent (Iron Heads) Singles 2: Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers) vs. Danny Lee (Iron Heads) Foursomes: Anirban Lahiri-Charles Howell III (Crushers) vs. Kevin Na-Jinichiro Kozuma (Iron Heads) 2. LEGION XIII vs. 12. HYFLYERS GC Singles 1: Jon Rahm (Legion XIII) vs. Cameron Tringale (HyFlyers) Singles 2: Tyrrell Hatton (Legion XIII) vs. Andy Ogletree (HyFlyers) Foursomes: Caleb Surratt-Kieran Vincent (Legion XIII) vs. Phil Mickelson-Brendan Steele (HyFlyers) 3. RIPPER GC vs. 6. FIREBALLS GC Singles 1: Marc Leishman (Ripper) vs. Eugenio Chacarra (Fireballs) Singles 2: Lucas Herbert (Ripper) vs. David Puig (Fireballs) Foursomes: Cameron Smith-Matt Jones (Ripper) vs. Sergio Garcia-Abraham Ancer (Fireballs) 7. STINGER GC vs. 10. 4ACES GC Singles 1: Dean Burmester (Stinger) vs. Dustin Johnson (4Aces) Singles 2: Branden Grace (Stinger) vs. Patrick Reed (4Aces) Foursomes: Louis Oosthuizen-Charl Schwartzel (Stinger) vs. Harold Varner III-Pat Perez (4Aces)

Come Sunday, all 13 teams are playing to determine the final outcome. All players will compete in stroke play, with all four team scores added together. The lowest score of the four teams that won Saturday matches will be the overall winner, with the remaining teams claiming second through fourth place. The losing squads on Saturday are playing for fifth through eighth place, with the losing squads from Friday playing for ninth through 13th place.

Here’s the prize money payouts for each team this week at Maridoe.

Architect Steve Smyers and his associate Patrick Andrews transformed the old Columbian Club in designing Maridoe Golf Club outside Dallas, which earned third-place in Golf Digest’s 2018 ranking of the Best New Courses. Smyers’ design can challenge the best players in the world—with the plates tipping out at 7,800 yards—with shaved-off areas around the undulating green complexes but also tempting better players into taking aggressive lines off the tee. The course hosted charitable exhibition tournaments during covid to raise money for the club’s charity. View Course
