The LIV Golf season is winding down and this week the league is outside Chicago at Bolingbrook Golf Club. Chicago is the only city to have hosted a LIV event in each of the first four seasons. The usual cast this week is playing for the customary $20 million with the winner taking home $4 million.
Joaquin Niemann has been the class of the tour all year, winning an impressive five times in only 11 events. He’s dominating the individual standings and can officially clinch the top of the list with another win this year, although it’d already be difficult for anyone to catch him. Despite not winning this year, Jon Rahm is second and Bryson DeChambeau, with only one victory, is third. Last year at Bolingbrook Rahm topped Niemann for the individual championship.
On the team side, Rahm’s Legion XIII (with Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt and Tom McKibbin) has won four times and holds the top spot there with DeChambeau’s Crushers (three wins) in second and Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs (three wins) in third.
Lock Zone, Open Zone, Drop Zone and seedings for the team championship at all on the line this week. (Lock Zone is the top 24 players guaranteed a contract for 2026; Open Zone is players 25-48 and can stay in the league but their current team is not obligated to extend their contract; Drop Zone is players 49 and below who are vulnerable for relegation.) There is only one more individual event (Indianapolis), then the season ends Aug. 22-24 with the team championship in Michigan.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week in Illinois. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
