The inaugural LIV Golf season is in the books after shaking the world of golf to its foundations with a mass exodus of big-name players joining to cash in on the Saudi Arabian riches.

There was, has been, and will be plenty of debate on whether it’s good for golf and how the future will look, but on the golf course let’s wrap-up how things ended in the first LIV Golf season.

We'll take a look at the full schedule of events and winners, the final individual and team standings and the all-important full breakdown of how much money each player earned.

How much money did every player in the 2022 LIV Golf season earn?

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, but won over $7m in team prize money.

Henrik Stenson giving up the Ryder Cup captaincy was worth $5.5m in LIV Golf earnings, 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.

As well as all the money, points were awarded for individual performances in the LIV Golf events, and those points were used to allocate the huge season-ending bonuses for the top three.

The standings could also be used to allocate places in next season's LIV Golf, which is expending to 14 events and making even more money available.

The Saudi Arabian investors are thought to be ready to plough $1bn into next season's LIV Golf League, as it'll be known.

He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
