This substantial figure positions him as the highest-paid athlete in the world for 2022, surpassing renowned soccer star Lionel Messi. Mickelson's decision to join LIV Golf led to a temporary loss of sponsors and a self-imposed hiatus due to controversial comments about the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia, further emphasizing the significance of his contract in reshaping the golfing landscape.

3. Bryson DeChambeau - $86 million

  • On-course earnings: $66 million
  • Off-course earnings: $20 million
    • DeChambeau's contract is believed to exceed $125 million, with an estimated upfront payment of half this sum. This significant contract has positioned him ahead of NFL quarterback Tom Brady in earnings, showcasing the transformative effect of LIV Golf on golfers' financial profiles.

4. Brooks Koepka - $69 million

  • On-course earnings: $53 million
  • Off-course earnings: $16 million
    • Koepka's contract is estimated to have included a substantial $100 million guarantee from LIV, significantly contributing to his total earnings over the last year.

5. Tiger Woods - $68 million

  • On-course earnings: $43,500
  • Off-course earnings: $68 million
    • Despite playing sparingly due to his recovery from an accident, Woods turned down a substantial LIV offer in the "high nine digits," highlighting the impact of LIV Golf's significant financial incentives on top players.

6. Rory McIlroy - $43 million

  • On-course earnings: $9 million
  • Off-course earnings: $34 million
    • McIlroy's contract earnings reflect the financial consequences of his stance against LIV Golf, emphasizing the polarization within the golfing community and the financial implications for players.

7. Jordan Spieth - $39 million

  • On-course earnings: $8 million
  • Off-course earnings: $31 million
    • Spieth's on-course earnings have been affected by his support for the PGA Tour over LIV Golf, shedding light on the financial trade-offs associated with aligning with different golfing series.
