Dustin Johnson took down Cameron Smith and Branden Grace in a playoff to win LIV Golf Tulsa at Cedar Ridge Country Club.
For Johnson, a two-time major champion most recently at the 2020 Masters, this is his second victory on the Saudi Arabi-backed circuit, the first coming at LIV Golf Boston last season.
He’ll head into next week’s PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, in good form (and with heavier pockets). His winner’s paycheck totals $4 million.
Check out how much money each player earned at LIV Golf’s sixth event of its 2023 season.

LIV owns a 75 percent stake in each franchise and provided teams with an undisclosed amount of operating capital for the year. The teams are expected to largely run on their own dime this season, with team prize earnings going directly towards its day-to-day costs.
The upstart circuit led by Greg Norman and backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has long been criticized as a way for the Kingdom to sportswash its controversial human rights record. Saudi Arabia has been accused of politically motivated killings, torture, forced disappearances and inhumane treatment of prisoners. Members of the royal family and Saudi government were accused of involvement in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist.
