Record-breaking season saw 139 PGA Tour and 49 LIV Golf pros earn over $1,000,000 in 2023

The year 2023 proved to be quite profitable for professional golfers, as 139 pros from the PGA Tour and 49 from LIV Golf were able to breach the $1 million mark in this year's earnings.

The inception of LIV Golf last year brought a huge influx of money into professional golf. Sensing a tough competition ahead, the PGA Tour also decided to raise the purse size of events, which resulted in more rewards for the pros for their performances.

On the PGA Tour, 139 players were able to make at least $1 million in the 2022–23 season. 87 of them were able to breach the $2 million mark. The tour introduced the concept of signature events (formerly called designated events), which had a purse size of $15 million and more. This helped players gain more from their fine performances throughout the PGA Tour season.

Scottie Scheffler, who was consistent throughout the season, was successful in earning $21,014,342 in 23 starts in 2022–23. He broke his record for most earnings in a PGA Tour season that he had set last year.

Viktor Hovland was the overall leader on the money list this season after he earned the $18 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup. He raked in $14.1 million from the PGA Tour this year.

On LIV Golf, all the players who made a minimum of six starts were able to earn more than $1 million. Talor Gooch emerged as the highest earner this season, with total earnings of $35.3 million. His earnings included $17.3 million from 13 starts and $18 million from the bonus he received as an individual season champion. This year's earnings on LIV were more than he earned in his entire career on the PGA Tour, where he raked in $9.25 million in 123 starts.
