There is a good reason why many golfers have decided to join LIV Golf instead of the PGA Tour despite all the controversy that this has generated, and it is due to the monetary prizes awarded by the new golf circuit, which are much higher to most PGA tournaments.
In this Chicago Invitational 2022, a total of $20 million dollars will be distributed among the golfers participating in the competition, and as there is no cut-off, everyone is guaranteed at least a small piece of the pie. Putting this in context, only The Players Championship this 2022/23 PGA Tour season delivers a larger prize than this 2022 Chicago Invitational.
Out of the $20 million to be distributed, $4 million dollars are guaranteed to the winner of the tournament, while the other participants will go home with a minimum of $100,000 to their credit at the end of the competition.
At JefeBet, we show you a detailed list with the prizes to be distributed based on the position of the golfers, so if you want to know the winnings per position in more detail, take a look.
