Talor Gooch has moaned about being docked over $2m at LIV Golf Adelaide as a result of Australian taxes.

Gooch, 31, followed his maiden LIV Golf victory in Adelaide a week previous with another win at LIV Golf Singapore on Sunday. 

After defeating Sergio Garcia in a playoff, Gooch now becomes the first player in LIV Golf history to win consecutive tournaments on the Saudi-backed circuit.

Gooch hit out at Dustin Johnson following his latest win. DJ of course decided to controversially trade Gooch for Peter Uihlein in his 4 Aces GC this season. 

Here's how much they all won at LIV Golf Singapore

Gooch now joins Brooks Koepka as the only players to have won twice on LIV Golf. 

His latest win also saw his Range Goats GC, captained by Bubba Watson, go on to win the team event for the first time. 

Over the past two weeks on LIV Golf, Gooch has won an astonishing $9.125m

Gooch won $4.375m at LIV Golf Adelaide (having won the individual title and finishing second in the team event), but he saw just over 2m of that (47.5%) taken away by the taxman. 

He then picked up $4.75m for winning both the individual title and team title at LIV Golf Singapore.

Speaking on 'Fore The People' podcast, Gooch said: 

"It was a little bit disheartening seeing 47 and a half percent because Australian taxes [do] not enter the account.
"It comes, you know, almost it sometimes it’s like 48 hours, but it’s usually 24 hours after it direct deposit hits. It was a big one this last week, but yeah, it sucked that 47 and a half percent was withheld for Australian taxes, unfortunately.
"I am by no means complaining, but the four [million dollars], once you cut it all up, let’s just say that it’s lot less than four."

Gooch also told the podcast how Tiger Woods has been asking him questions about LIV Golf.

Woods is said to have been paying close attention to the Saudi-bankrolled circuit this season.
