Jon Rahm just added to his LIV Golf fortune – but he’s still reportedly owed millions

Jon Rahm has taken his LIV Golf earnings beyond $90 million after securing a third consecutive Individual Championship at the weekend.

The Spaniard finished T41 at Trump National Bedminster – his worst result since joining LIV Golf – but had already built such a commanding lead in the season-long standings that his nearest pursuer Bryson DeChambeau could not catch him.

With just one regular-season event remaining in Indianapolis, Rahm has therefore secured another individual title without needing to wait for the final tournament.

The Individual Championship bonus may have dropped this season from $18 million to $6 million, but Rahm's latest success still provides him with a significant financial boost.

According to Front Office Sports' David Rumsey, Rahm's total LIV Golf earnings now stand at approximately $90.8 million.

Of that figure, $48,806,708 has come from tournament prize money, while another $42 million has been earned through his three consecutive Individual Championship bonuses.

Rahm owed $150m, per reports

Rahm reportedly signed a $350 million contract when he joined LIV Golf in December 2023, although a substantial portion of that deal is believed to remain unpaid.

According to Monday Q Info, the 31-year-old could still be owed approximately $150 million, with LIV Golf players collectively potentially owed more than $250 million in outstanding contract money.

Multiple reports have commented how the league is preparing to file for bankruptcy, which would allow for a restructuring of debt and player contracts.

Under that scenario, Rahm would become LIV's biggest creditor.

All the financial uncertainty comes at a crucial time for the league.

Bloomberg reported last week that LIV Golf is currently in talks with BC Partners' credit division over potential investment to help keep the league operating into 2027 and beyond.

The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) confirmed earlier this year that it will stop funding LIV Golf beyond the end of the current season, which ends this month.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil last week said he hopes an agreement with their lead investor can be reached by next month, and that a definitive deal could potentially secure the league through to 2030.

However, according to the Financial Times, BC Partners is said to want assurances that some of LIV Golf's biggest stars – including Rahm and DeChambeau – intend to remain with the league before committing to significant investment.

DeChambeau has been involved in efforts to help secure LIV Golf's future but has also suggested he could focus on YouTube Golf and the four majors if the league does not continue. 

DeChambeau also last week additionally expressed an interest in playing some PGA Tour events again.

PGA Tour boss Brian Rolapp, however, has ruled out any imminent merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

Niemann closes in on Rahm

While Rahm leads LIV Golf's all-time earnings list when bonuses are included, Joaquin Niemann has earned more in tournament prize money.

The Torque GC captain has accumulated $57,068,712 in prize money after landing a record ninth LIV Golf title at Bedminster on Sunday. 

Rahm has only won four individual LIV tournaments to put Niemann's impressive performance into perspective. 

Niemann has been part of LIV Golf since its inaugural season in 2022 and enjoyed an exceptional run of form, winning five times in 2025 alone.

However, despite his unbelievable win count in 2025 he still fell short to Rahm in the Individual Championship.

Niemann's $20 million in bonus money takes his overall LIV Golf earnings to just over $77 million, some $13 million behind Rahm. 

TNT Sports host Craig Doyle appeared to suggest there are doubts over Niemann's future on LIV Golf.
