The 2026 LIV Golf season came to a conclusion Sunday outside of Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Michael La Sasso<\/a> became the youngest winner in LIV’s history at The Club at Chatham Hills, birdieing the 72nd hole to beat Jon Rahm by a shot. Now, the league’s first version will cease to exist, as CEO Scott O’Neil and Co. work to bring to life LIV Golf 2.0.<\/p>\n

LIV is known for its high purses and monumental amounts of money given out to players. This season, more than 13 players earned at least $5 million, a number that likely would’ve been higher if not for two events getting canceled.<\/p>\n

Who made the most money in LIV Golf’s 12 events in 2026? Take a look:<\/p>\n
