LIV Golf Virginia Prize Money: How Much Joaquin Niemann and Others Earned
The LIV Golf series rolled into Virginia with its signature glitz, fierce competition, and massive prize money — and once again, Joaquin Niemann walked away with a major payday. The Chilean star, who has consistently been among the standout performers in LIV events, added another lucrative weekend to his growing resume.
Joaquin Niemann Shines Again
Niemann delivered a stellar performance at the LIV Golf Virginia event, showing his trademark consistency and composure under pressure. He finished in the top spot, securing both the individual title and helping his team, Torque GC, place high on the leaderboard.
For his victory, Niemann reportedly pocketed $4 million in individual prize money. This continues his hot streak in the 2025 LIV season, where he has already notched multiple podium finishes.
Team Earnings Add to the Bounty
LIV Golf’s format rewards not just individual brilliance, but also team success. Torque GC, Niemann’s team, finished within the top three, which earned each member an additional $750,000 in team prize money. That brought Niemann’s total haul for the weekend to a staggering $4.75 million.
Other Top Earners from LIV Virginia
The prize money in Virginia was spread among several top contenders:
- Talor Gooch: With a second-place finish, Gooch earned $2.25 million, adding to his already impressive season earnings.
- Brooks Koepka: The former major champion finished in third, securing $1.5 million.
- Bryson DeChambeau: Although he didn’t crack the top three, DeChambeau’s team placed second, bringing him an estimated $625,000 in team earnings alone.
LIV Golf’s Lavish Rewards Continue
Once again, the Virginia event underscored what has made LIV Golf such a disruptive force in the sport: high-stakes drama backed by enormous prize money. With total purses typically sitting at $25 million per event, the league continues to attract top talent and fan attention.
As the season progresses, Joaquin Niemann is emerging as not just a fan favorite but also a serious contender for the year-end championship bonus. With several events still to come, the money — and the pressure — will only keep growing.
But for now, in Virginia, it was Niemann’s name on top, his wallet heavier, and his reputation further cemented as one of LIV Golf’s brightest stars.
