  "account": "At the season finale of LIV Golf's inaugural year, Michael La Sasso emerged as the champion, birdieing the final hole at The Club at Chatham Hills to claim the $40 million purse. The prize money was divided equally, with $10 million allocated to individual players and $30 million to the teams. This marked the smallest player payout in LIV Golf history. Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team took home the team championship after finishing atop the standings, earning $8.4 million. The detailed distribution of the $40 million player prize money is as follows: Michael La Sasso took home $2.02 million, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau each earned $1.136 million, Richard T. Lee, Scott Vincent, and Laurie Canter each received $353,500, and Dean Burmester took in $265,125. The remaining players shared the rest of the individual earnings.
