Follow us on Google Discover Many golf fans questioned Jon Rahm’s decision to switch allegiances from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf back in December 2023.
Rahm was one of the best golfers in the world when he joined LIV, if not the best, having won 11 PGA Tour titles including two major championships.
Since the 31-year-old made the move to LIV, he has struggled in the major championships for the most part.
However, Jon Rahm has been hugely successful on LIV Golf, winning four times and securing three consecutive season-long championship titles.

During the same timespan, Scottie Scheffler has won a remarkable 14 times on the PGA Tour, and he has been paid handsomely for that.
Meanwhile, Rahm completed his third LIV Golf season-long triumph on Sunday at LIV Golf New York.
The two-time major champion has been a dominant force on LIV, and his earnings reflect that.
How much money Jon Rahm has earned since joining LIV
The prize for the individual winner throughout the season has dropped down from $18 million to $6 million this year.
However, the Spaniard has still raked in some serious money over the past three years.

Rahm has earned $48,806,708 in prize money and $42,000,000 in bonuses for his performances on LIV Golf.
That equates to a total of $90.8 million in on-course earnings.

However, that figure pales into insignificance when compared to the fee that Rahm received for joining LIV Golf in the first place.
The Spaniard received upwards of $550 million to join LIV Golf back in December 2023 (Golf Monthly).
Scottie Scheffler’s earnings on the PGA Tour since the start of the 2024 season
In 2024, Scheffler earned $29,228,357 through tournament winnings plus $33 million in bonuses, including his $25 million winner’s shares for securing the FedEx Cup title.
That put his total earnings in 2024, including bonuses, at $62.23 million.
In 2025, the world number one earned $27,659,550 through his tournament play and a further $23.2 million in bonuses, totalling $50.89 million.
So far in 2026, Scheffler has amassed $16,911,275 in earnings on the golf course, and he is still yet to earn his share of the FedEx Cup bonus money.
So, since Jon Rahm joined LIV Golf, Scottie Scheffler has racked up $130.03 million in earnings on the golf course.
That figure could easily climb over the $150 million mark by the time the FedEx Cup playoffs are finished.
So, as lucrative as Rahm’s time on LIV Golf has been, Scheffler has raked in even more cash during the same time period.
