The PGA Tour’s loyalty Payouts have been revealed, rewarding players who chose to remain with the Tour after receiving massive offers from LIV Golf.
Yesterday, we reported that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan was contacting players on the Tour to share what their payouts would be thanks to a new grants program that will vest the amount over the span of eight years.

The payouts would be grouped into four separate categories, with the top group being made up of top PIP performers and mainstays on leaderboards at elevated events and Major Championships.
It appears the amount of the projected payouts have been revealed in a new report shared by The Telegraph, detailing the following monetary figures for several top names:
- Tiger Woods - $100 million
- Rory McIlroy - $50 million
- Jordan Spieth - $30 million
- Justin Thomas - $30 million
Joe Pompliano said:
"The payments are small compared to what LIV has handed out...but they represent an essential step for the PGA Tour."
Other names, like Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, Viktor Hovland, and others, will also receive payouts, but those figures have not yet been uncovered.
The roughly $1.5 billion will be split among the 193 golfers that remain on Tour. However, $750 is going to 36 of the biggest names in the sport who chose to stay with the PGA Tour.
