Graeme McDowell LIV prize money dwarfs Shane Lowry's Honda Classic payout

It was a lucrative weekend for both Graeme McDowell and Shane Lowry in their respective tournaments.

McDowell opted to join LIV golf last year and has been rolling in the cash since his move to the Saudi-backed league last year.

And the Northern Ireland man was back in action at LIV Mayakoba over the weekend, finishing in a tie for 11th.

McDowell's earned some €384,000 while Charles Howell III won the event and received a €3.8m cheque.

Shane Lowry was also in action and was in a tie for fifth.

The Offaly man was five shots off winner Chris Kirk who beat Eric Cole in a playoff.

Lowry was still in the money and earned a cool €273,000 for his weekend's work.

The 2019 Open Champion also rises to 19th in the world after his performance while McDowell sits at 391.
