The top five earners on LIV Golf since it started and how much they have been given by the league

Since its inception in 2022, LIV Golf has seen a handful of high-profile PGA Tour players join the league, with significant signing-on fees attached. These players have enjoyed considerable financial success, despite the league's overall failure to challenge the PGA Tour.

The top five earners on LIV Golf since its launch include Jon Rahm, who has amassed an impressive $96,408,875 in earnings. Rahm, 31, has won four LIV Golf titles since switching from the PGA Tour in December 2023, and has also clinched the individual LIV Golf title three years in a row. The Spaniard reportedly received a signing-on fee exceeding £500 million when he joined LIV two-and-a-half years ago, making him one of the highest-paid athletes globally.

Following Rahm is Joaquin Niemann, a 27-year-old whose nine wins on LIV Golf since February 2024 have cemented his status as the league's best player since his arrival in August 2022. Niemann's earnings total $81,070,796.

American golfer Talor Gooch, 31, rounds out the top three earners, with a net worth of $74,282,278. Gooch has won four LIV Golf titles since joining the league in 2022, showcasing a stellar performance record.

Completing the top five is Dustin Johnson, 42, whose $64,575,695 in earnings reflect his previous world-class status on the PGA Tour. Johnson won three LIV Golf tournaments since joining the league in 2022, despite a decline in his on-course performance.

Finally, Dallas-based golfer Bryson DeChambeau, 32, rounds out the list with $61,098,905 in earnings. Despite his status as one of golf's biggest stars, DeChambeau's performance on LIV Golf has only yielded five victories since his switch from the PGA Tour.
