Five players finished the LIV Golf Invitational Series stop near Chicago in last place, T-44 at 6 over and a whopping 19 shots behind winner Cameron Smith. For their efforts they’ll each take home $124,000.
That’s the selling point for the upstart series led by Greg Norman and supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund: 54-hole, no cut events that offer massive contracts and paydays.
Smith carried his form from the PGA Tour to LIV, finishing T-4 in his first start at LIV Golf Boston and winning this week at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, by two shots over Dustin Johnson and Peter Uihlein. Smith’s $4 million payday trumps his three previous wins last season on the PGA Tour, where he earned $1.476 million for winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions, $2.5 million for winning the British Open and $3.6 million for winning the Players Championship.
