The team competition money is awarded to the franchises themselves to fund their operations, not the players specifically. The individual players on each of the three teams to finish in the top three in the team competition also will split bonus prize money, with the 1st-place team getting $1 million to split, with the second-place team getting $800,000 and the third-place team getting $500,000.
The event is played this year at Riyadh Golf Club in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
