Welcome to Playing Through’s daily ritual — Golf Talk Today.
Each day, the crew will discuss various elements of the PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV Golf, and more.
Today, we look at how much money the 58 LIV Golf players earned in the 2024 season. They wrapped up their year this past weekend in Dallas at the Team Championship event where Cam Smith’s The Ripper GC took home the title.
The week before, Jon Rahm won the individual crown in Chicago during his first season with the Saudi-backed league. That victory earned him an $18 million bonus. In second place was Joaquin Niemann, who got a $12 million bonus, and Sergio Garcia, who took home $4 million extra.
Among the 58 guys in the league, 54 took home at least $1 million in tournament money. These numbers do not account for their contracts but what they won in the golf tournaments.
Let’s take a look at how much each guy won this season.
