2023 LIV Golf League team championship: The schedule, format and storylines to watch - ESPN

The second LIV Golf League season wraps up this weekend with the circuit's $50 million team championship, starting Friday at Trump National Doral Golf Club outside Miami.

A moment at the conclusion of last week's tournament in Saudi Arabia might have been the perfect illustration of how much money has been awarded on the breakaway tour over the past 16 months.

Five-time major championship winner Brooks Koepka defeated Talor Gooch in a playoff at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City for his third LIV Golf victory. As Koepka was being interviewed on the 18th green, he was informed by a reporter that in addition to a $4 million prize for winning the tournament, he had picked up another $4 million for finishing third in the season-long points race.

Koepka seemed surprised by the news, which he confirmed during a news conference at Trump Doral on Wednesday.

«No, I did not know,» Koepka said. «I was more interested in trying to win the golf tournament. And while you're out there, the leaderboard didn't show what the individual standings was. So, I had no idea where I was. I was more focused on actually trying to win an event.»

Gooch, a three-time winner in the LIV Golf League this season, captured the individual points race and the $18 million bonus that goes with it. He collected another $2.25 million for finishing second in the tournament, bringing his on-course earnings this season to more than $35 million, not including his share of team winnings.
