LIV Golf returns after a two-week break in Andalucia where 16 Troon-bound players will try to get some form of relevant competition in ahead of the 152nd Open Championship. It may be 15°C hotter, 18 holes fewer, and fail to resemble a links setup in the slightest, but at least there’s a shed load of cash to play for.
It won’t worry Andalucia’s winner from 2023, however. Talor Gooch will not be travelling to Troon having elected not to play in Final Qualifying. The American picked up the last of his three individual wins at Valderrama last year, holding off Bryson DeChambeau by a shot to bag another $4 million. In the team event, Torque GC took the spoils with a comfortable five-shot buffer from Rangegoats GC to take the $3 million first prize.
Here’s how the prize funds were distributed in 2023…
