Who do you think will win the net worth race between Rory McIlroy and Tyrrell Hatton? The latter made a huge career move in January 2024. After saying that he was pretty comfortable on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, Hatton joined LIV Golf for $63 million. As it usually happens with the breakaway circuit’s contracts, the Englishman will be paid this million-dollar check in the next few years. Other than his contract fee, Hatton also made millions through LIV Golf events.

The 7-time DP World Tour winner played all 14 events and luckily, broke his three-year winless drought at LIV Golf Nashville. He bagged a check of $ million from there. Then, Hatton proved his worth in the PIF-backed league as he finished inside the top 25 in all the other 13 events and amassed $12,030,263. The money didn’t stop there. At the LIV Golf Individual Championship, Hatton finished solo 4th and added another $4 million, taking his on-course earnings to $16,030,263. Outside of LIV Golf, Hatton also participated in two PGA Tour events, The Sentry and Sony Open in Hawaii, finishing T14 & T13, respectively, and earning $473,385 from these two events.

Then, he posted T9 at the Masters ($540K), T63 at the PGA Championship ($25,202), and T26 at the US Open ($153,281), whereas he missed the cut at the Open. He also won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship for the third time on the DP World Tour cashing in $800,000 as the winner, finished second at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and earned another $990,000 from Yas Links. His total on-course money adding up to the other three European league events he played, comes out to be $19,178,993.

Off the course, the 3-time PGA Tour winner also enjoys the deal with various sponsors, including Titleist, PING, and Adidas, adding his appearance fees and endorsements, Hatton’s 2024 net worth comes out to be more or less $24 million. But is it more than what Rory McIlroy earned in the 2024 season?

How much Rory McIlroy earn in 2024?

Rory McIlroy could not win any majors in the 2024 season but he did win the Wells Fargo Championship for the fourth time and added $3.6 million to his bank account. Prior to that, he won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with his friend, Shane Lowry, and had $1,286,050 more. The Northern Irishman carded only one runner-up finish on the PGA Tour at the US Open. Technically, it is the major, and he bagged $2.322 million, although he missed the winner’s purse as his putt didn’t go in.

Overall, McIlroy missed only one cut throughout the year, finished in the top 25 fifteen times, and earned $10,893,790 on the PGA Tour, including the majors. Now on the DP World Tour, he won the Hero Dubai Desert Classic to add a check of $1.53 million and surprisingly, he had many runner-up finishes on the European side. In total, McIlroy was runner-up at the Dubai Invitational ($197,251), the Amgen Irish Open ($660,00), and the BMW PGA Championship ($778,500). So, with T25 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and T3 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, he earned $14,627,241.

But, McIlroy earns more in endorsement than Tyrrell Hatton. He has long-term contracts with Nike, TaylorMade, Optum, Workday and Omega. According to Forbes, McIlroy is 2nd highest-paid golfer in the world with his off-course earnings bagging him $45 million. Per the Sunday Times Rich List, his personal wealth increased from $262 million to $299 million in 2024, and his net worth is estimated to be $83 million. Undoubtedly, McIlroy is way richer than Hatton, this may change if the Englishman wins more and attracts better sponsor deals.
