LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open

Scottie Scheffler may be the hottest golfer on the planet right now, but when it comes to earnings, the crown goes to LIV Golf's Jon Rahm. Latest report suggests that Rahm has beaten Scheffler heading into the U.S. Open, at least on the money list.

Scottie has been putting on one of the greatest performances in the PGA Tour and Majors as well. He has won 3 out of 12 events including the 2025 PGA Championship. The 28-year-old is yet to miss a cut this season. But when it comes to becoming the highest paid golfer in the world, Scheffler unfortunately lost that crown to the Spaniard Jon Rahm.

According to Forbes' latest report of the World's Highest Paid Golfers in the World, Rahm's reported earnings stand at $102 million. He earned only $10 million of it from off-course earnings courtesy of endorsement deals with Callaway, Rolex and Santander Bank. However, the rest of Jon's astonishing $92 million comes from his on-course earnings through LIV Golf and Majors.

In his debut season with LIV Golf last year, Rahm won the Tour's season long individual title which earned him an additional $18 million bonus. He is yet to win an event this year. Meanwhile, the world's second highest paid golfer Scottie Scheffler's earnings stand at $97 million. He made $67 million from on-course earnings while the rest of the $30 million came from off-course.

Scottie has endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade, , Rolex and Veritex Community Bank. The three time Major winner has already accumulated $86 million career earnings, only behind Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Phil Mickelson in PGA Tour's All-time list. Scheffler also won the Memorial Tournament leading up to the U.S. Open. Though he may have lost the money battle to Jon Rahm, Scottie will look to balance things out by trying to win his maiden U.S. Open.
