Ranking the Top 10 Golfers in the World Based on Their Net Worth

As a crazy year in golf comes to its final months, there have been plenty of changes in the hierarchy of golf’s top earners. Admittedly, the LIV Golf Series has activated an imaginary lever that has bumped the money earned by professional golfers. So how do they rank amongst themselves based on their net worth?

Here’s the list of the top 10 active golfers in the world based on their net worth.

10. Ernie Els (Net worth: $85 million)

South African golfer Ernie Els makes the list with a net worth of $85 million. The 4-time Major Championship winner was a trailblazer during his time, which fetched him a World No. 1 rank. In his prime, Els challenged the likes of Tiger Woods, with his battle at the 2003 Presidents Cup engraved into golf folklore.

The 53-year-old now plays at the PGA Tour Champions.

9. Dustin Johnson (Net worth: $100 million)

The 38-year-old has had a successful campaign in the inaugural LIV Golf Series. Johnson won the individual title for most points in the season, as well as led his team to victory in the team event in Miami.

In total, Johnson won more than $40 million in all LIV events, excluding an eye-watering contract to switch from the PGA Tour.
