REVEALED: The highest-paid golfers of 2023!
Who tops the list?!
It comes as absolutely no surprise LIV Golf players top the list of highest paid golfers for 2023.
In case you have been living under a bridge, LIV Golf launched last June and is backed by Saudi Arabia's vast, bottomless wealth fund to the tune of more than 600bn.
To get their league off the ground, they promised a host of PGA Tour stars to up sticks and join the fledgling circuit, spearheaded by six-time major champion Phil Mickelson and two-time Open winner Greg Norman.
It is estimated that more than $2bn was ploughed into the new tour, with hundreds of millions of dollars given up-front to players for their services.
So it will shock absolutely nobody that a host of LIV players occupy the top-10 of highest paid golfers by Forbes.
See below the full list of the highest-paid professional golfers of 2023.
