Patrick Reed has earned big paydays before, but nothing compares to the financial surge he’s enjoyed since joining LIV Golf. With victories in Portland and Bangkok fueling his rise, Reed’s bank balance has taken on a new life. So how dramatically has LIV transformed his earnings? 

The numbers show it plainly. Before LIV, Reed had earned significant money from traditional tours, but the referral to LIV ushered in a new era of earnings. According to data compiled through 2025, his LIV payouts by year read like a jackpot scoreboard.

Patrick Reed’s Earnings boost

Patrick Reed’s LIV Golf run has been a slow build that finally broke open in 2025. Since joining the league in 2022, he delivered steady pressure without the headline win, stacking 17 top-10s and 32 top-24s across 45 events and 135 rounds.

And while the victories weren’t coming yet, the money certainly was. Spotrac reports Reed earned $14.7 million in 2022, $10.96 million in 2023, $5.4 million in 2024, and $9.6 million in 2025 — more than $40.7 million in four seasons.

In fact, his $8.239 million individual haul in 2025 alone placed him among the year’s top earners, reflecting how consistently he kept himself in contention.

But the results needed a breakthrough, and it finally arrived in June 2025. At LIV Golf Dallas, Reed buried a 15-foot birdie to win a four-man playoff — his first individual LIV title after years of close calls.

The performance wasn’t a surprise to those tracking his metrics. Patrick Reed ranked third in strokes gained off the tee that week, a key driver behind his rise to seventh in the 2025 standings with 109.40 points. Combined with selective starts on other tours, the stretch pushed his career earnings to $84.74 million by April 2025.

The paychecks from LIV have given Reed a cushion that traditional tour play rarely offered at his level. Then again, it's not really surprising. It's something golf fans haven't seen happen for other golfers as well. Take Phil Mickelson or Dustin Johnson, who, besides earning individual payouts, also secured guaranteed contracts reported to be over $100 million.

Similarly, for Patrick Reed, LIV Golf didn’t just change where he tees off. It transformed his earning potential and secured a financial legacy.
