How much Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and others will earn at LIV Golf London

Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson have already been paid in the region of a combined $325 million to compete in the LIV Golf Invitational Series, and that is before they have even struck a golf ball in Greg Norman's controversial new Saudi golf league.

Johnson has reportedly been paid $125 million after signing up to the LIV Golf series, with some reports saying it is closer to $150 million. 

Mickelson has received even more with a whopping $200 million. 

Johnson, a 24-time winner on the PGA Tour and third in the all-time career money list, today confirmed he has resigned from the PGA Tour.
