Three LIV Golf titles and the breakaway circuit's individual championship saw American star Talor Gooch become the sport's biggest earner throughout the 2023 campaign
LIV Golf star Talor Gooch has trumped his rivals on the PGA Tour to end the 2023 season as the sport's highest earner, after becoming the breakaway circuit's Individual champion.
His success of course came with eye-watering payouts too, having swooped £16.1million in tournament earnings, before receiving a £14.8m for his individual championship win. For the year - and across just 14 events - this saw Gooch rake in nearly £31m in on-course winnings, more than any other player in professional golf. Since LIV's formation last summer, the PGA Tour has been quick to stifle the rise of its new-found rival.
Then came one of LIV Golf's biggest critics in Rory McIlroy, who was able to put aside the saga he found himself off the course, to win £16.7m on it. And the Northern Irishman - as well as fellow European teammate Rahm - have the chance to further add to their tally, when they compete at the DP World Tour Championship in a little over two weeks.Meanwhile on the LIV setup, it was Brooks Koepka who came in as second-top earner after cashing in £18.
