The 2026 LIV Golf League is off to a memorable start with its opener in Riyadh quickly followed by its hugely popular Adelaide event.

Smylie and Kim each banked $4m for their wins, giving them a flying start in the 2026 LIV Golf Money List, but remarkably, it is another name who sits proudly at the top of it.

Jon Rahm finished runner-up at both events, giving him two payouts of $2.25m. Therefore, even at this early stage of the season, the Legion XIII captain has a haul of $4.5m - almost $300,000 more than 4Aces GC star Kim's overall earnings of $4.20m.

Smylie is third on the list with $4.17m following a T27th result in Adelaide.

Another player who has enjoyed a strong start to the season is Peter Uihlein. The Range Goats GC player has finished third both weeks to leave him fourth on the money list with earnings of $2.6m.

In total, nine players have earnings of over $1m already, with Bryson DeChambeau, Abraham Ancer, Tyrrell Hatton, Lucas Herbert and Thomas Pieters also having banked seven-figure sums. Sebastian Munoz completes the top-10 of the money list with $967,500.

Further down, Joaquin Niemann, who came close to winning the Individual Championship in 2025, before Rahm beat him to it, has had a relatively quiet start to the campaign.

Finishes of T22nd and T12th mean he's currently 19th on the money list with earnings of $553,000.

At the bottom, three players are yet to reach six-figures for the season, with reserves John Catlin and Ollie Schniederjans - as well as Cleeek GC captain Martin Kaymer - each on $50,000 from one appearance so far.

Below is the full LIV Golf money list after two tournaments.
