Part-time Coloradan Scott Vincent matches his career-best showing on LIV Golf and earns $1 million in the process; Colorado native Jennifer Kupcho posts best LPGA finish of 2026

By Gary Baines – 4/19/2026

The longer-term funding for LIV Golf may be far from certain, but for now, the money keeps flowing in a big way for players.

Just ask Scott Vincent, who lives in Colorado part time (along with Florida) and is back competing on LIV in 2026 after being “relegated” due to poor performance on the circuit in 2024.

On Sunday, he finished solo fourth out of a 57-man field in Mexico City. That matches his best showing ever on the LIV circuit as he also placed fourth in 2023 in Singapore and Jeddah.

But what is particularly remarkable is the payday that comes with Vincent’s fourth-place finish in Mexico as he earned a cool $1 million for the week. Not bad for a circuit whose main source of funding may close the spigot after this year.

Vincent, competing in his 39th LIV Golf event since making his debut in 2022, posted rounds of 67-71-65-69 for a 12-under-par total in Mexico City. He ended up nine strokes behind champion Jon Rahm, who earned a tidy $4 million for his second individual LIV victory of 2026.

Vincent regained his spot on LIV Golf by finishing atop the International Series rankings for 2025. He competed in the U.S. Open last year.
