How LIV Golf works and current updates

The inaugural 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series includes a season-long points race to crown the Individual Champion. Each of the seven regular-season events will award points based on individual leaderboard results. The top three players in ranking points will receive prize bonuses from the $30 million purse, with the Individual Champion receiving the top bonus of $18 million.

HOW IT WORKS

Here is the individual points system for each regular-season event. First place is worth 40 points, and only the top 24 players – half of the 48-man field – will receive points. Those who finish 25th or below will not be eligible for points in that tournament.

1st – 40 points	7th – 13 points	13th – 6 points	19th – 2 points
2nd – 30 points	8th – 12 points	14th – 5 points	20th – 2 points
3rd – 24 points	9th – 11 points	15th – 4 points	21st – 1 point
4th – 18 points	10th – 10 points	16th – 3 points	22nd – 1 point
5th – 16 points	11th – 8 points	17th – 3 points	23rd – 1 point
6th – 14 points	12th – 7 points	18th – 2 points	24th – 1 point

IN CASE OF TIES

Unlike for prize money purposes, there are no ties for individual points.

1. Ties per event are decided by one of the following, in the order they appear:

Final round score
Better back-9 (as per the card rather than the player’s finishing 9 holes) iii. Last 6 holes
Last 3 holes
Final hole
Last 36 holes

2. Total Number of Points Ties for rankings are decided by one of the following, in the order they appear:

Best finish in an event
2nd best finish in an event
3rd best finish in an event
And so on (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th best finish)
