In 2024, Jon Rahm topped the list of highest-paid golfers with a staggering $218 million, despite not winning any tournaments this year. This record is more than double the earnings of the next highest-paid golfer, Rory McIlroy, who made $83 million. Rahm’s income primarily comes from his move to LIV Golf, a league funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has dramatically changed the financial landscape of golf.
