Brooks Koepka's astronomical LIV Golf earnings as he dominates season

Brooks Koepka, who joined LIV Golf just over two years ago, is reaping the rewards of his decision with little to no regrets, especially based on his recent comments .

His success in the Saudi-backed series was almost immediate and he remains a strong competitor on the major circuit. He continues to make waves in the Saudi sphere, recently making history with his win at LIV Greenbrier, and making a fortune in the process .

This latest victory marks him as the first player to win five LIV Golf events, solidifying his status as one of the league's most valuable stars since the mass departure began in 2022.

His dual win of both the individual title and the team prize in West Virginia netted him a staggering $4.75 million.

Jon Rahm seemed poised for victory this past weekend, but Koepka managed to edge him out in a play-off. Despite this, Rahm's runner-up prize of $2.3 million was not insignificant.

Koepka's earnings from LIV in 2024 now exceed $11.8 million, placing him fourth on the league's money list with one 'normal season' event remaining. However, this only represents a portion of his total wealth since joining the rival tour.

With two wins in each of the last two editions of the LIV Golf League, Koepka's total earnings from the series now stand at $38.8 million. This includes approximately $33.5 million in individual winnings and $5 million in team-based prizes.

The Californian golfer has been showing off his impressive skills on the LIV Golf circuit, consistently leading the pack and notching up wins without depending on anyone else.

"This is probably my favorite one," said Koepka after outplaying Rahm at the Greenbrier. "It's always good when you have to battle good players. Jon is a hell of a player. For whatever reason, he has always gotten the better of me a little bit as of late. It feels nice just to get one."

With only one more victory required to topple Joaquin Niemann from the pinnacle of the money list, attention now turns to the LIV Chicago event in September. Following this tournament, the focus will shift to the Team Championship in Dallas, where Koepka and his colleagues will contest for a significant end-of-season bonus.
