The top earners in 2013
Prize money is not take-home pay
Every figure on this page is gross official prize money. It leaves out FedEx Cup bonuses, which are paid separately and can be worth millions to the top players, and it leaves out endorsements and appearance fees, which aren't reported.
Players pay their own way. A caddie typically takes about 5% of a check, rising to around 10% for a win, and players also pay for travel, lodging, coaching and fitness staff, plus tax in the states and countries where they earn it. A player near the bottom of the money list can lose money in a season.
LIV Golf and DP World Tour earnings aren't included in these totals. See career earnings across all tours. See the methodology for exactly what is counted.
