The staggering 2022 earnings of Leona Maguire

2022 has been an incredible year on the course for Leona Maguire.

Back in February, Maguire won for the first time on tour at the Drive On Championship in Florida. Since then, she has finished in the top-five on a number of occasions and has solidified her position as one of the top European golfers in the World.

This past weekend, Maguire finished her year with a fourth placed finish in Spain. One week earlier, the Cavan woman finished second at the CME Championship, an event that had the largest winning purse in the history of the women's game.

With so many brilliant finishes, the 2020 LPGA Rookie of the year has managed to earn some serious cash. In total in 2022, the 27-year-old accumulated over $1.8 million (€1.74 million) on the LPGA Tour a result of her fabulous form.

The former number one amateur in the World now has a career total of $2.8 million (€2.71 million) accruing from winnings on the LPGA Tour, meaning she has more than doubled her total winnings in the space of a year, having won just $1 million (€967,255) in total prior to 2022.

Added to that is the $100,297 (€91,037.82) earned on the European Tour, and in total, Maguire has won $1.9 million (€1.831 million) in total this calendar year.
