How Much Prize Money Has Rory McIlroy Won In 2025?
The World No.2 has claimed some significant titles this year and recorded a number of other high finishes - but how much prize money has he collected?


In April 2025, Rory McIlroy became just the second golfer ever to surpass the $100 million earnings mark on the PGA Tour behind a certain Tiger Woods.
The Northern Irishman's extremely successful career has arrived at a time where purses are at record-high levels, and McIlroy is quite literally cashing in by maintaining his generational levels of consistency everywhere he goes.
A winner in all but two seasons since claiming his first pro title at the European Tour's 2009 Dubai Desert Classic (2017 and 2020), the 36-year-old has collected over $10 million in prize money in each of the past four seasons (2025 inclusive) and scooped over $5 million in all but three campaigns since 2013-2014.
McIlroy will extend all of those records through at least 2025 as well after winning two PGA Tour events and a Major before May.
The first of his triumphs arrived in just McIlroy's second start of the year - at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Fuelled by an early tournament ace, the Holywood-born pro beat good friend, Shane Lowry to the title by two strokes and consequently earned himself $3.6 million.

That US success occurred two weeks after the World No.2 had finished T4th on the DP World Tour's Dubai Desert Classic and banked a check for just north of $460,000.
A couple of top-20 results at the Genesis Invitational and Arnold Palmer Invitational secured McIlroy a cumulative package of roughly $620,000 for two weeks' work, all before the biggest prize purse of the year at The Players Championship.

McIlroy defeated JJ Spaun in a Monday playoff at TPC Sawgrass to collect the $4.5 million top check and almost double his season earnings up to that point.
Upon the 36-year-old's return and serving as preparation for The Masters, McIlroy ended T5th at the Texas Children's Houston Open to scoop circa $338,000. Seven days later, and McIlroy fulfilled a childhood dream in winning a Green Jacket at Augusta National.
The five-time Major winner received $4.2 million off the back of his career Grand Slam achievement, taking his season tally to over $13 million in just seven appearances.

Working with Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, McIlroy endured a frustrating time and finished a relatively disappointing T12th, picking up a pay packet of about $69,000.
A fortnight later and the Northern Irishman scored a prize worth almost 10 times that at the Truist Championship ($602,500) courtesy of ending the Signature Event at Philadelphia Cricket Club T7th.
After barely making the cut at the PGA Championship and finishing T47th, McIlroy won $49,190. His following start, at the RBC Canadian Open, would turn out to be even more disappointing as a missed cut made the trip up to TPC Toronto fruitless.
It's not all bad, though. McIlroy has ultimately earned $14,439,582 from 11 competitive appearances on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour so far this year and is likely to significant increase that number in the starts to come.
