Brooks Koepka is one of the biggest names to join LIV Golf. The Saudi-backed series has offered a lucrative amount to top PGA Tour players. While most turned down the contract, some found it difficult to say no to competing in the controversial series.
Several outlets claimed that Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau had signed a deal worth around $100 million, which is pretty similar to what Brooks Koepka has signed. Reportedly, the 32-year-old has also signed a $100 million contract with the tumultuous series.
Phil Mickelson signed the deal for $200 million, while Tiger Woods was offered about $700 million to $800 million, but he rejected the offer and remained loyal to the PGA Tour.
According to Forbes, Koekpa was the fourth-highest-paid golfer signed by LIV Golf. The outlets claimed the Saudi-backed series had boosted the earnings of their 10 highest-paid golfers by an estimated $370 million. Brooks Koepka was given a $100 million guarantee along with his on-course earnings of $35 million, as reported by Forbes.
The four-time major winner has earned a fabulous amount from the first season of LIV Golf. He played in their eight tournaments that took place throughout 2022. He earned $8,276,000 in prize money on the circuit.
Koepka was part of the Smash GC team, which helped him earn $2,625 million in prize money while earning $5 million from individual events. Although Koepka did not play remarkably well in the tournament, his earnings were much better than his PGA Tour earnings.
