The first LIV Golf event of 2026 is in the books, and as always, there was plenty of prize money up for grabs.
Elvis Smylie won in his LIV debut and will move inside the top 100 in the world with the victory after the Official World Golf Ranking awarded LIV Golf world ranking points earlier this week. He also takes home $4 million in prize money from a $20 million purse.
