How Much Did Bryson DeChambeau Win At LIV Golf South Africa?

Bryson DeChambeau after winning LIV Golf South Africa.

It took until its fifth season for LIV Golf to host a tournament in South Africa, but while The Club at Steyn City was a new venue for the circuit, a familiar name lifted the trophy.

While many of the fans in attendance were rooting for the Southern Guards team with its all-South African line-up of Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzel and Dean Burmester, it was Bryson DeChambeau who claimed his second LIV Golf title in a row, with his Crushers GC outfit winning the team contest.

With one round to play, DeChambeau had a two-shot advantage over Grace, but in the end, a playoff with Jon Rahm was needed to decide the contest, with the American's birdie on the first extra hole enough to defeat the Spaniard.

Like DeChambeau's LIV Golf Singapore win a week earlier, his reward for claiming his fifth title in the league is a $4 million payout from a total of $20 million in the individual competition.

For the third time this season, Rahm picked up $2.25 million for his runner-up finish.

Three players, Thomas Detry, Grace and Abraham Ancer, finished tied for third, for which they receive $1.1 million apiece. That is, of course, before various factors reduce how much a professional golfer really earns from a tournament.

In the team event, Crushers GC picked up $3 million for its victory, while Oosthuizen's Southern Guards GC earned $1.5 million.

Team members are not thought to receive that share of the prize money, with those finances being given to the respective franchises instead.

The final pot of money is a $2.3 million cache, which may well be given to the leading player on each of the top three teams. Team captains can give the money to whoever they want, though, so it could go to the pro who helps their team onto the podium via an excellent weekend, instead, for example.

Below is a complete breakdown of what each player won at LIV Golf South Africa.
