Brooks Koepka's move to the LIV series certainly ensured his wallet was thicker than ever. It's rumoured the Saudi-backed breakaway offered him some €140m to switch allegiances despite vocal critics such as Rory McIlroy. But how does Koepka and the Northern-Irishman's 2023 prize money earnings compare?
Koepka has enjoyed a succesful 2023 so far and recently won his third PGA Championship and with it a €3m paycheck. McIlroy on the other hand has yet to win a major since 2014 but did enjoy a succesfull 2022 and has carried that form largely into this current year. His most recent tournament win was back in January at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Their winnings over the first six months of 2023 make for very interesting comparison.
