Brooks Koepka had a mixed 2023. After winning the LIV Orlando event, the 33-year-old golfer put up two stellar performances in two Major tournaments. Then his form faltered and had a subpar Ryder Cup outing before making a comeback in the LIV Jeddah event. However, one thing that remained constant despite these ups and downs was a steady flow of cash on his way home.
Now that the season is done and dusted for the five-time Major winner, we thought of taking stock of the amount of dough he pocketed this year. Suffice it to say, it shoots over a staggering amount that you can count with both hands.

At the beginning of the season, the nine-time PGA Tour champion won $4 million for being the event winner at the LIV Orlando. He went on to win another $5 million from the nine events after that, winning $3 million from the LIV Valderrama and LIV Singapore event alone for finishing third.
Coming back to Jeddah, the former PGA Tour pro once again bagged the title like he did last year. In addition to winning $4 million for being the event winner, the 2021 PGA Championship winner bagged an additional $4 million for finishing third on the season-long leaderboard.
However, it’s not just from the breakaway league that the golfer won the cheques. His strong performances in the majors also saw him bag a few million on the way. Finishing second at the Masters meant the American golfer took home $1,584,000 dollars.
Coming back to the Majors once again at the PGA Championship, this time Koepka took home the trophy and a hefty sum of $3,150,000 with it. He pocketed another $284,167 and $39,025 in the U.S Open and The Open Championship respectively.
In total, Koepka played 58 rounds. So, the nine-time PGA Tour winner earned a mind-boggling $379,310 per round in the last ten months.
Amidst all these, let’s not forget the eye-watering sum that the Jupiter native received for switching to LIV Golf. Although it has been under wraps for a long time, Brooks Koepka recently dropped some hints about the numbers.
