Dustin Johnson was a huge winner in the LIV Golf season, with one individual tournament success while his dominant 4 Aces team won four events in a row before also claiming the season-ending team title.
With Johnson then finishing top of the individual standings, he claimed a whopping $18m bonus to take his season earnings well over $35m.
Branden Grace pocketed $8m for finishing second overall to double his earnings to over $16m while Pete Uihlein got $4m in third to walk away with $12.8m.
Patrick Reed and Talor Gooch also eclipsed the $10m mark thanks mainly to playing in the 4 Aces team – with the controversial Pat Perez also making most of his $8m in prize money from the team aspect.

Perez won less than $1m in individual prize money thanks to recording finishing results of 34th, 32nd, 16th, 31st, 40th and 46th in the individual tournaments.
Henrik Stenson giving up the Ryder Cup captaincy was worth $5.5m in LIV Golf earning, with fellow former European team stalwarts also doing well as Sergio Garcia grabbed $6.1m, Lee Westwood won $4.2m and Ian Poulter $3m.
Open champion Cameron Smith played in just five events, but won one of them to win $7.3m, while LIV Golf’s poster boy Phil Mickelson may have got a huge signing bonus but on the course won just $1.8m.
All in all, 68 players turned out in LIV Golf with 52 of them earning over $1m while the lowest earner took home $120,000.
