LIV Golf’s second event is set to be just as lucrative as its first one. Each golfer in the 48-man field will be poised to take home at least $120,000 while four players will exit the Saudi-backed start-up’s second tournament as millionaires.
LIV Golf Portland is, like LIV Golf London, set to have a bigger purse than any event on the PGA Tour in 2022. It even dwarfs the total purses of each of golf’s four major tournaments; and that’s despite LIV Golf featuring just 48 players playing 54 holes while most majors have 150-plus participants and play 72 holes.
Indeed, LIV Golf’s purses are massive, but just how much money is at stake at Pumpkin Ridge golf club? Here’s a breakdown of the LIV Golf Portland purse for 2022.

LIV Golf Portland payouts 2022
The winner of LIV Golf Portland will take home $4 million, but the second- through fourth-place finishers will all receive at least $1 million as part of the $25 million purse.
Below are the projected payouts for each 48-player tournament in the LIV Golf Invitational Series:
If there are any ties, golfers in the tied positions will split the money evenly. For example, if two golfers tie for second place, the second- and third-place prize pools would be combined and split evenly between the two. In this case, each would receive $1,812,500.
