After LIV Golf Individual Champion Ring, one LIV star to get a custom gold coin

From the LIV Golf Individual Championship ring to the newly unveiled custom gold coin, the Saudi-backed circuit's luxurious and unique golf prizes have made headlines. The breakaway golf league awarded its individual champion a custom-made gold ring, and now, it has introduced a custom-made gold coin that will be awarded to a player this week.

The 2024 season of LIV Golf concluded in September. Jon Rahm won the LIV Golf Individual Championship and was awarded the custom ring. This week, golfers from various series have been competing at the LIV Golf Promotions event. The winner of the event will earn a spot in the Saudi league for the 2025 season, along with the gold coin and a prize of approximately $200,000.

The gold coin, designed by renowned jeweler Ben Baller, features the LIV Golf logo on one side and "2025" engraved on the other. LIV Golf recently unveiled the coin on Instagram, writing:

"Golf and gold coins 😮‍💨 One player will earn @benballer’s custom coin this week 🤝"

Notably, last year, players also received a gold coin for their outstanding performance at the LIV Golf Promotions event.
