Brooks Koepka had a mixed 2023. After winning the LIV Orlando event, the 33-year-old golfer put up two stellar performances in two Major tournaments. Then his form faltered and had a subpar Ryder Cup outing before making a comeback in the LIV Jeddah event. However, one thing that remained constant despite these ups and downs was a steady flow of cash on his way home.

Now that the season is done and dusted for the five-time Major winner, we thought of taking stock of the amount of dough he pocketed this year. Suffice it to say, it shoots over a staggering amount that you can count with both hands.

At the beginning of the season, the nine-time PGA Tour champion won $4 million for being the event winner at the LIV Orlando. He went on to win another $5 million from the nine events after that, winning $3 million from the LIV Valderrama and LIV Singapore event alone for finishing third.

Coming back to Jeddah, the former PGA Tour pro once again bagged the title like he did last year. In addition to winning $4 million for being the event winner, the 2021 PGA Championship winner bagged an additional $4 million for finishing third on the season-long leaderboard.
