Dustin Johnson has won the inaugural LIV Golf Tour Championship, securing a prize of £16.2 million after just six events. This adds to the already astronomical figures he has earned so far as a LIV player, taking his winnings to over $30 million.
It is but another example of the fantastical amount of money which LIV Golf offers to its players, and is borderline laughable given the lack of tournaments played.
The individual competition wraps up next week in Jeddah, but Dustin Johnson has already secured the overall prize courtesy of five top-10 finishes, including a win at LIV Golf Boston.
The season-ending Team Championship takes place at the end of October at Trump National Doral Miami, where the four man teams will compete for that unique prize.
Currently leading the way are Johnson's team, Aces GC, with Crushers GC, Stinger GC, Fireball GC, and Majesticks GC rounding off the top-5.
Dustin Johnson Is The Inaugural LIV Golf Champion
Dustin Johnson has surpassed $30 million in earnings on #LIVGolf.
He's earned $5.1 million per event.
But I guess he did give up the right to play in the Valspar, so yeah I can see how people think he made a bad choice.— LIV Golf Updates (@LIVGolfUpdates) October 10, 2022

"Locking up the individual competition is big," said Dustin Johnson after securing the most lucrative prize in all of golf. It's an honour to be LIV's first individual season champion."
LIV Golf CEO, Greg Norman, also sang the praises of Johnson, with the American golfer being the controversial tour's first major signing.
"The first chapter of LIV Golf's history could not be written without Dustin Johnson's name. By any measure, Dustin Johnson is among the elite players in the world. From the start, he's been a LIV Golf cornerstone.
"He has more than lived up to his billing and he deserves immense credit for clinching LIV's first individual season title."
