The 2026 LIV Golf Adelaide purse is set for $30 million, with a $20 million individual tournament purse and a $10 million team tournament purse. The team tournament winner's share is $3,000,000 -- the standard 20 percent payout according to the LIV Golf's prize money distribution chart.
The LIV Golf Adelaide field is headed by Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Anthony Kim and more.
The 57-player field plays in the 2nd event in the 14-event 2026 LIV Golf League schedule, with a tournament under the lights in Adelaide to start the season.
A cut is not made after 36 holes, and the tournament is now a standard 72 holes. The teams competition will be decided among the 13 four-player teams, with their total score over 72 holes determining the winner.
There are five-wild card players who will not be taking part in the team competition, and all individual players can earn a share of the $20 million individual purse.
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 The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia.
What else is on the line: Points, OWGR points, exemptions
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
There are 23 Official World Golf Ranking points available to the individual winner, with the top 10 individuals and ties getting points.
There are also points earned for individuals and teams that count toward season-long bonuses and the team championship to end the season.
