I've got to hand it to Jon Rahm - what an incredible season he had on the LIV Golf circuit in 2024. From start to finish, the Spanish superstar was clearly the dominant force out there.
You could see his confidence growing with each start. He broke through for his first W at the UK event in September, which seemed to unleash him. Back-to-back top 2 finishes followed at Greenbrier and Chicago.
That final tournament really showed Rahm at the top of his game. Shooting an amazing 11-under over the weekend, he took home a cool $4 million for the win. But that was nothing compared to the mega $18 million bonus he cashed for clinching the Order of Merit title. Unreal!

When you add it all up, Rahm walked away with a mind-blowing $34,754,821 for the year. Just unheard of money in golf. Of course, not everyone had the success - poor Wade Ormsby must have been bummed with his $83,333 payday for last place.
Even PGA Tour star Scottie Scheffler, with his $62 million season, couldn't match what Rahm pulled in on LIV. It's incredible to think the Spaniard made more than anyone else in pro golf this year!
You've got to tip your cap to the guy. He really showed why he's one of the best with how he finished 2024. Can't wait to see if he can replicate this success moving forward. On this evidence, Rahm may very well continue to rule the roost on LIV for years to come!
