Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf shocked the golf landscape as the Spaniard will be the latest high-profile golfer to have switched from the PGA Tour to the Saudi Arabian-backed side in a deal worth a reported £450million.
Furthermore, Rahm is set to receive a guaranteed fee of £240m for a five-year commitment to LIV. That is double what former World No. 1 Dustin Johnson received and triple what Brooks Koepka was given when they left the PGA Tour for LIV in 2021.
Rahm will also get a stake in his town team, which could be worth an additional £200m. For reference, the money Rahm will be making with LIV is about twice as much as 15-time major winner Tiger Woods has made from competition wins.

Woods is the top-earning golfer in history, having earned around £96m from 82 PGA Tour victories. In one deal, Rahm will have earned more money than arguably the greatest golfer in history.
With Rahm now joining the ranks of LIV on the heels of an incredible deal, here is a look at the current golfers playing in the circuit and how much money they made in 2023, per Today's Golfer.
