Jon Rahm posted strong results in 2025 and, despite not winning a single tournament, earned significant prize money.
For Jon Rahm, 2025 was a season full of highs and lows. The Spaniard played a key role in Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup team in New York and delivered solid performances in three of the four major championships. However, he failed to capture a single tournament win throughout the calendar year. Still, his consistent play on the LIV Golf circuit paid off handsomely.
Jon Rahm wins LIV Golf season title without a victory
Rahm enjoyed one of the most consistent seasons of his career. The 30-year-old finished in the top 10 in 12 of 13 LIV Golf events, with his worst result being a T11. He also secured four runner-up finishes. Yet, a tournament win eluded him. At the final LIV Golf event, Rahm shot an 11-under final round to tie leader Sebastian Muñoz and force a playoff, but ultimately came up short. Despite the disappointment, Rahm overtook season leader Joaquin Niemann by three points to clinch the overall season title. Niemann had won five of the 13 events but faltered in others, allowing Rahm to edge ahead at the last moment.
“It takes a lot of things to go right to have the kind of year Joaquin had,” Rahm said. “He won five times and played incredible golf. You could argue he deserved it more. But with this points system, somehow, I don’t know how, I managed to come out on top.”
Season title brings massive payday
Along with the trophy, Rahm received a massive financial reward. In addition to the $2.25 million for finishing second in the final event, he earned an $18 million bonus for winning the season title. That accounted for 60% of his total season earnings. In all, Rahm took home $31.6 million from the LIV Golf season.
The remaining 40% came from his consistent performances throughout the year. He started strong in Riyadh with a runner-up finish worth $1.875 million, followed by nearly $2.3 million in earnings over the next four weeks. After a T14 at the Masters, he continued to perform well, including another second-place finish at his home event in Spain, collecting around $4.5 million across five LIV events between the Masters and The Open. With T5 and T2 finishes before the season finale in Indianapolis, Rahm added over $2.5 million more to his total.
It was undoubtedly a memorable season for Rahm. “I know I’ll eventually be proud of winning the season without actually winning a tournament,” he said. “Right now, it still stings a bit, and it might never happen again.” Still, the more than $30 million in his bank account will surely help ease the pain of those missed victories.
