Are LIV Golf pros the richest golfers in the world? The entire landscape of professional golf changed back in 2022 when LIV Golf was launched. The PIF-funded golf league offered mouth-watering deals to some of the biggest stars in the PGA Tour to make the switch and join them in Saudi Arabia.

Greg Norman & co. were able to attract some big names like Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, and Sergio Garcia into the mix to kick off the inaugural season of their league. It has been 3 seasons since then and the Saudi-based promotion has prospered exponentially.

Along with its success, the famed LIV Golf talents have also gained access to a lot of benefits. The biggest and most lucrative ones have been the financial gains. Having said that, how much has the 5 highest-earning LIV Golf pros accumulated in 2024? Let’s take a look at the richest LIV Golf players from the 3rd season of the league.

Jon Rahm

The Spanish superstar golfer was one of the top stars on the PGA Tour in 2023. He had come off a brilliant season-winning the Masters Tournament and a few more events by the end of the year. However, rumors of Jon Rahm moving to LIV Golf had been running wild as Greg Norman was looking for new faces to run his league. With Rahm looking to spend more time with his recently born child and the amazing contract offered to him, the then-29-year-old decided to jump ship and join the likes of Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, and Brooks Koepka in LIV Golf.

It is believed that Jon Rahm signed a $350 million multiyear deal with LIV Golf in December 2023 and has never looked back since. The 30-year-old managed to dominate his rookie season in LIV Golf, topping the individual leaderboard in the end. His efforts helped him gain a total of $218 million so far as reported by the Forbes Magazine official website. However, his net worth might be a bit different.

Cameron Smith

The favorite son of Greg Norman has had one of the most successful seasons in LIV Golf. While Cameron Smith may not have ranked in the top 3 on the individual leaderboard, he did manage to captain a dominating team throughout 2024. The Ripper GC leader guided his side to win the 3rd season of LIV Golf convincingly. Apart from his lucrative $100 million contract, Smith was also able to benefit from his team’s winnings to add to his total financial gains in 2024.

By the end of the year, Cameron Smith’s net worth is reported to be at $47 million.

Bryson DeChambeau

Bryson DeChambeau has seen some incredible success in 2024. His story began at the 2024 U.S. Open where his impeccable strokeplay helped him secure the 2nd major win of his career. The win not only helped DeChambeau bank $4.3 million but also skyrocketed his popularity on YouTube. The Bryson DeChambeau YouTube channel took another major leap of success when the 31-year-old hosted the 47th POTUS; Donald Trump for a ‘Break 50’ episode.

As far as DeChambeau’s winnings in 2024 go, his efforts in LIV Golf and triumph at the 2024 U.S. Open along with various sponsorship deals have helped him gather $44 million, just $1 million more than his rival Brooks Koepka.

Brooks Koepka

Yes, Brooks Koepka did earn a bit less than Bryson DeChambeau. While a million dollars is no small amount, Koepka would have wished to earn more than the $43 million he gained in 2024. However, unlike DeChambeau, the 2023 PGA Championship winner had more to celebrate in LIV Golf. The 34-year-old managed to secure two individual wins throughout the 2024 season. He was the top performer at LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf Greenbrier events.

Moreover, Brooks Koepka was also able to attract much more lucrative sponsorship deals than DeChambeau, giving him a total of $8 million in added earnings. Ironically, the difference in financial gains between the two golf superstars might have come from Bryson DeChambeau’s $1 million revenue from endorsements.

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is probably the most accomplished golfer in LIV Golf at present. The 54-year-old has ‘been there and done that’ in terms of every PGA Tour achievement that exists. The only title that has evaded the golf legend is the U.S. Open, a tournament where he has finished as a runner-up on 6 different occasions. When it comes to LIV Golf, Mickelson was also signed as a big-name star by Greg Norman. The HyFlyers GC captain may have not had the most successful seasons in LIV Golf, but his salaries and endorsements have still helped him join the rankings.

As reported by Forbes, Phil Mickelson has earned $38 million in the 2024 season of LIV Golf. $36 million of the total has come from his on-course exploits while the remaining $2 million has been gained from sponsorships.

These were the richest LIV Golf players in 2024 based on the financial information about them available online. However, the actual numbers may vary as most golfers don’t make their actual earnings public.
