So, I got curious the other day about Brooks Koepka and how much cash he’s stacked up over his career. You see him winning majors, then making the big jump to LIV Golf, and it makes you wonder, right?
My first step was just firing up my browser and doing a simple search. Typed in something like “brooks koepka career money”. The results that came back were a bit mixed, honestly. Some sites focused just on his PGA Tour winnings, which you can find pretty easily listed on official golf stat pages. That number itself is pretty big, definitely millions upon millions from tournament prizes over the years.
But then things got interesting.
I remembered the whole LIV Golf situation. That wasn’t just about prize money; there were rumors of massive signing bonuses. So, I tweaked my search, adding “LIV Golf contract” to Koepka’s name.
Digging into the LIV Deal
That’s where the really big numbers started popping up in articles and sports news reports. I kept seeing figures mentioned, like a contract reportedly worth over $100 million. Now, you gotta take these reports with a grain of salt, right? It’s not like LIV or Koepka are putting out official press releases detailing the exact amount. But that hundred-million-plus figure was mentioned quite a bit in different places.
So, putting it all together in my head, it went something like this:
- Found his official PGA Tour earnings. That’s documented prize money. Solid number.
- Found reports about a huge LIV Golf signing deal. Less official, more based on insider talk and news, but consistently reported as massive, likely over $100 million.
- Realized his total career earnings aren’t just tournament checks anymore. That LIV contract, if the reports are true, blows the regular winnings out of the water.
It’s kind of wild when you think about it. You have guys like Rory McIlroy who stuck with the PGA Tour, making bank through winnings and endorsements, and then you have Koepka taking this enormous reported deal from LIV. Different paths to huge fortunes in the golf world now. Even Woods, who’s been the king forever wealth-wise, comes from an era before these kinds of massive upfront contracts were really a thing like they are with LIV.
So, after poking around, I feel like I have a better picture. Pinpointing an exact total down to the dollar is probably impossible because that LIV deal isn’t public knowledge. But combining his official PGA Tour prize money with the widely reported nine-figure LIV contract gives you a sense of the scale. It’s definitely a huge amount, way up there in the sports world. Just trying to figure it out was an interesting little rabbit hole to go down.
