2022 SEASON INDIVIDUAL CHAMPION: UPDATED STANDINGS THROUGH CHICAGO
WRITTEN BY LIV GOLF STAFF
SEPTEMBER 19, 2022
The inaugural 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series includes a season-long points race to crown the Individual Champion. Each of the seven regular-season events will award points based on individual leaderboard results. The top three players in ranking points will receive prize bonuses from the $30 million purse, with the Individual Champion receiving the top bonus of $18 million.
HOW IT WORKS
Here is the individual points system for each regular-season event. First place is worth 40 points, and only the top 24 players – half of the 48-man field – will receive points. Those who finish 25th or below will not be eligible for points in that tournament.

7th – 13 points |
13th – 6 points |
19th – 2 points |
|
2nd – 30 points |
8th – 12 points |

IN CASE OF TIES
Unlike for prize money purposes, there are no ties for individual points.
1. Ties per event are decided by one of the following, in the order they appear:
-
Final round score
-
Better back-9 (as per the card rather than the player’s finishing 9 holes) iii. Last 6 holes
-
Last 3 holes
-
Final hole
-
Last 36 holes
2. Total Number of Points Ties for rankings are decided by one of the following, in the order they appear:
-
Best finish in an event
-
2nd best finish in an event
-
3rd best finish in an event
-
And so on (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th best finish)

Only the top three finishers at the end of the seven-event regular season will receive bonuses from the $30 million purse.
