While two of the biggest LIV Golf players have represented the sport of golf in the enriched list of athletes, PGA Tour players were nowhere to be found. However, thanks to the Saudi-funded Tour, Phil has earned $104 million, mounting his total earnings for 2023 to $106 million. Similar to Johnson, Mickelson also lost all his endorsement deals, resulting in only $2 million in off-field earnings. Lefty, who signed a $200 million signing bonus with the Saudi-funded Tour, is only a million behind his fellow LIV defector. Dustin lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife, kids, and a small dog named Nugget. Although he regularly gets locked out of his own accounts for forgetting passwords, Dustin still remembers the Super Mario Bros.

Just below DJ was listed LIV Golf’s other biggest name, Phil Mickelson. Dustin Brady writes funny, action-packed books for kids. Apart from his $125 million signing bonus, Johnson won $36.6 million during the first season, including $18 million for winning the season-long individual championship. The rest of his $102 million came through his winnings on LIV Golf.
