How much Bryson DeChambeau has earned on LIV Golf compared to Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler on the PGA Tour
It is no secret that one of the biggest factors behind players leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf was the money. Not only did stars such as Bryson DeChambeau receive huge sign-on fees, but the prize money was also incredible.
Bryson DeChambeau, who transitioned from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in 2022, has earned a significant amount of prize money on LIV Golf compared to Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler on the PGA Tour. LIV Golf events offer considerably higher prize money, despite having fewer tournaments annually.
Scottie Scheffler, the PGA Tour champion, has amassed over $100 million in earnings from his 21 victories on the PGA Tour over the last five seasons. He has even surpassed Rory McIlroy's career earnings and is on track to surpass the golf legend Tiger Woods.
Bryson DeChambeau, on the other hand, has earned approximately half of what Scottie Scheffler has since joining LIV Golf. This figure, however, does not encompass the prize money DeChambeau earned from playing on the DP World Tour or in major championships.
On the other hand, Rory McIlroy, despite his back-to-back Master's victories, has earned less than DeChambeau over the past five years. His reduced participation in tournaments over the past two seasons may be a contributing factor to this discrepancy.
It is also essential to note that the figures presented do not include DeChambeau's reported $125 million signing fee. While DeChambeau has undoubtedly earned more on LIV Golf than he would have if he had stayed with the PGA Tour, the decision's true worth is a matter for him to decide.
