LIV Golf individual winnings to date
36 players have already earned more than one million dollars from their results in the LIV Golf events to date with former World No.1 Dustin Johnson dominating the on-course earnings having surpassed $12m in Chicago.
DJ is a cumulative 44-under-par for the five LIV events he’s played and is yet to finish outside of the top-10 having recorded a win, two 3rd-place finishes, a 4th and an 8th. The 38-year-old is well on track to take home the end-of-season individual title, which would see him earn an additional $18m.
The two-time Major champion also captains 4Aces GC who hold a seemingly insurmountable lead in the Team Championship. Johnson Gooch, Reed and Perez will received an additional $16m to split between them ($4m each) if they gold on to top spot.
RELATED: WITB Dustin Johnson
Open champion Cameron Smith, who has only played in two LIV Golf tournaments, has already pocketed more than $5m, with Henrik Stenson earning more than $4.5m from his two appearances.
Andy Ogletree, whose sole LIV appearance came in the inaugural event in London, props up the list but still earned $120,000 for finishing last at Centurion Club having shot a woeful 24-over-par for his three rounds.
