The LIV Golf season finale heads to Dallas this weekend at the Maridoe Golf Club (Texas) – with the 13 LIV Golf Teams and 52 players battling it out for the huge $50 purse.
Read on as we explain just how the weekend LIV Golf Team event will work – from the three days format, seedings and how the prize money will be broken down.
How Will The LIV Golf Dallas Team Championship Work?
Over the 2024 LIV Golf League season, there were points awarded to the teams based on how their players finished in each event.
You can see the latest LIV Golf Team Standings below, with Spanish big-hitter Jon Rahm winning the individual players title and a cool $18m golf bonus in the process.
However, despite Rahm’s efforts, his LegionXII LIV Golf Team are sitting in second place on 200 points – 8.5pts off the top LIV team – Crushers GC – who are made up of Bryson DeChambeau, Paul Casey, Charles Howell III and Anirban Lahiri.
Over the 13 LIV Golf Tournaments, the Crushers GC players have managed three wins and three seconds. Plus, notched 12 top eight finishers, with the worse finish for them coming in Singapore with an 11th.
The best golf betting sites in the UK are pricing up LegionXII as the favourites to win the LIV Golf Team Championships, with the Crushers and Ripper come next in the market.
