For those players signed up to the PIF-backed LIV Golf League, financial security is one of the biggest plus points with no cuts meaning lost revenue is no longer a concern.<\/p>\n

Even the player who finishes last every week earns $50,000<\/a>, and should a pro end all 13 events bottom of the pile, they would still collect $600,000 for the year – not far off what the average LPGA Tour player earned in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coasting all campaign is not advised, though, as a lack of points from all those disappointing results would lead to relegation from the circuit and a slim chance of returning for the following year.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, a $4 million winner’s check every time can lead to an eye-watering sum of money if multiple wins are racked up throughout a season – just ask Joaquin Niemann who accrued over $31 million in 2025 thanks to five victories.<\/p>\n

However, the Chilean was not the highest-earning LIV player<\/a> of all thanks to Jon Rahm’s incredible consistency level and his overall victory in the season-long points race which led to a check for $18 million.<\/p>\n

For the third season in a row, there was $260 million in individual prize money available to LIV golfers through 13 tournaments, and 62 different players collected some kind of check along the way.<\/p>\n

That is in stark contrast to the PGA Tour where over $550 million was on the line through 42 of its own events plus the four highly lucrative Major championships.<\/p>\n

But, given 236 pros had contributed towards the its Official Money statistics by the end of the season, the average earnings for a PGA Tour player in 2025<\/a> was considerably lower than in the LIV Golf League.<\/p>\n

The average earnings figure for a LIV golfer in 2025 was just over $4.19 million, with the man in 31st – Cameron Tringale – setting the median tally at $3,728,643.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, that is the lowest number since LIV introduced a full 13-event schedule and a $20 million prize payout for each individual tournament.<\/p>\n

In 2023, only 52 players earned money throughout the year, setting the record average at $5 million and the median number at $2.89 million. Then, in 2024, 58 pros scooped some kind of cash, leading to an average earning figure of just under $4.5 million and a median total of $3.94 million.<\/p>\n

LIV’s inaugural campaign featured only seven $20 million tournaments prior to the season-ending Team Championship where most of the money up for grabs was reinvested back into the successful teams.<\/p>\n

But overall, in the four years of LIV’s existence so far, individual pros have earned an average of $3.93 million per season, far exceeding the PGA Tour level. Below is a full breakdown of the average earnings and median earnings per LIV Golf League season.<\/p>\n
