The globe Since the US Open last year, No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won six tournaments and has continued to be a strong presence in golf. The 28-year-old has earned an impressive $97 million, $67 million of which comes from on-course winnings, yet he is still not the highest-paid golfer in the world. Jon Rahm still holds the title, having reportedly earned an incredible $102 million before taxes and agents' fees in the last year.

Forbes has named Rahm the highest-paid golfer in the world for the second year in a row. Even though he has just won two LIV Golf tournaments in the last year, it claims that the 30-year-old's decision to change tours is paying off handsomely.

The top earners in golf for 2025

Let's look at the golfers who made the most money in the last year.

$102 million Jon Rahm

The Spanish player's on-course winnings total $92 million, with an additional $10 million earned off-course. His total income notably includes the almost $50 million yearly payment he received from the Saudi-backed LIV. Rahm allegedly received it as part of a $300 million assurance to leave the PGA Tour.

Rahm earned the tour's season-long individual championship and the $18 million bonus that accompanied it during his first year with LIV. He is currently third in the individual rankings with three top-five finishes in eight events.
