LIV Golf: How much did each player win at the Jeddah Invitational?
Brooks Koepka banked a huge $4 million prize plus another $750,000 for Smash GC winning the team format at the LIV Golf Jeddah Invitational.
Brooks Koepka won the final individual event of the inaugural LIV Golf Tour in Jeddah, securing his first win on the Saudi-backed series since making the switch from the PGA Tour.
The four-time major champion beat his Smash GC teammate Peter Uihlein in a three-hole playoff after Uihlein found the water with his third shot on the par-5 18th hole.
Koepka made three birdies in the playoff and eventually wore down his fellow American. He carded rounds of 62, 67 and 69 at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club to reach the top of the leaderboard with Uihlein.
The 32-year-old became emotional after his breakthrough victory as he revealed he almost walked away from his career after countless injuries and medical procedures.
"They haven’t been fun. So, it’s been a long road. I’m super excited. My whole team, we got the band back together, literally, a couple of months ago. We got Claude back on the team; and Pete - I’ve worked with Pete very, very hard; and Jeff as well. So a shout-out to them. This is for them," he said.

But he's back and he became the seventh benefactor of a $4 million payout on the LIV Golf Series in 2022. With Smash GC winning the team event too, both Koepka and Uihlein banked an extra $750,000.
There is just one event left: the Team Championship at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami which begins on October 28. All 12 teams will play for the staggering $50 million purse.
4 Aces, Crushers, Fireballs and Stinger GC are the four teams which have automatically progressed to the semi-finals. The other eight teams will play for places in the last eight.
