Jon Rahm’s past five years include two major championship wins, multiple tournament victories, and a transition to the LIV Golf League in December 2023. In the same period, Scottie Scheffler has recorded 19 PGA Tour victories, including four major championships and the 2024 FedEx Cup.
Yet, how do the two titans from the two different leagues stack up when it comes to money in the bank?
Jon Rahm Earnings
From 2021 to 2023, Rahm has collected PGA Tour payouts, DP World Tour payouts, major championship earnings, and season-long bonuses. Starting in 2024, he's been winning events in LIV Golf.
The $5,000,000 payment in 2021 is recorded as a FedEx Cup season-ending bonus for finishing second rather than a single-event prize. After Rahm’s move to LIV, the earnings data for 2024–2025 reflect LIV event payouts together with major championship prize money.
Jon Rahm's highest single-event payout in the five-year period, which includes a year-end championship bonus tied to the final event, is $20,250,000 for the 2025 LIV Golf Indianapolis event. He's also earned $18,000,000 in individual championship bonuses.
