One of the most popular winners of the season arrived on Sunday as Anthony Kim claimed the LIV Golf Adelaide title for his first pro victory in 16 years.
Kim carded a phenomenal bogey-free nine-under 63 at The Grange Golf Club to overturn a five-stroke deficit to Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau heading into the fourth and final round.
The 40-year-old's 23-under-par total gave him a three-stroke margin in the end and allowed Kim to soak in the acclaim of the record crowd before tapping home the winning putt.
Perhaps the most special moment for Kim, though, was the moment his daughter Bella and wife Emily ran onto the 18th green to hug him after the win was confirmed.
But adding to the unforgettable week was the biggest winner's check of Kim's entire career at $4 million from a total individual payout of $20 million.
While factors like taxes (which are particularly high in Australia) and bonuses owed to his caddie while affect how much money he really earns, it will still be a highly lucrative week for the Californian.
The 4Aces man's income may not stop there either after LIV introduced a new mini pot of $2.3 million to be allocated to players on the top-three teams at each tournament.
Thanks to Kim's input especially, 4Aces finished third behind winners Ripper GC and second-place Legion XIII.
In theory, the prizes of $1 million, $800,000 and $500,000 could be given to the leading player on the corresponding team's roster, but LIV noted that “captains can allocate to their team players as they wish” so there is no guarantee Kim will see any or all of the cash.
Although there was disappointment for Rahm in terms of his final-round challenge, he will still collect over $2 million while those who shared third are looking at $1.1 million each.
Not to mention, every remaining player inside the top-10 will pick up just under $450,000 as well as the limited number of OWGR points on offer to LIV players. Those outside may not collect any OWGR points, but the no-cut competition rewards everyone in the field with at least $50,000 no matter what.
Below is the complete prize money breakdown for LIV Golf Adelaide 2026.
