Sportico said Thursday that Rahm made $102 million over the period, the most in golf.
Much of Rahm’s earnings were tied to his move to LIV Golf. The 2021 U.S. Open and 2023 Masters champion switched tours in December 2023. Sportico reported that he signed a $300 million contract as part of the move and was believed to have received 50% upfront.
Rahm won twice on LIV Golf in 2024 and also captured the LIV Golf Hong Kong event in March. He earned $92 million in prize money and $10 million off the course.
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland ranked second at $84 million, including $29 million in prize money and $55 million off the course.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler of the United States was third at $81 million.
Tiger Woods, long the top earner off the course, posted $54 million in off-course income in the survey, trailing McIlroy in that category. Woods ranked fifth overall.
Three LIV Golf players made Sportico’s top 10: Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau at No. 4 with $65 million, and Joaquin Niemann at No. 7 with $41 million.
Among Asian players, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama was the highest-ranked at No. 8 with $31 million.
