How Much Money Rory McIlroy Has Made Every Year On The PGA And DP World Tours
Rory McIlroy is one of the highest paid golfers in the history of the sport - but how much has he won each year on the PGA and DP World Tours?


Rory McIlroy is one of the highest paid golfers in the history of the sport, earning more than $160 million in his career so far on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
McIlory has won 40 times during an illustrious professional career, including four Major titles, and has made over $90m in prize money on the PGA Tour and more than €56m on the DP World Tour.
He has also won the FedEx Cup three times and is a five-time winner of the Race to Dubai/DP World Tour Rankings, which come with significant prize money, further boosting his earnings.
The Northern Irishman also sits in second on the PGA Tour’s all-time money list (which doesn’t include FedEx Cup prize money) behind Tiger Woods.
He has also received millions from the PGA Tour’s Player Impact Program (PIP), which rewards players that have the largest impact on the PGA Tour business.
McIlroy has won multiple times in several seasons since turning pro in 2007, with his best year to date coming in 2014, when he claimed his third and fourth Major titles at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship, as well as winning the BMW PGA Championship and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
However, that season was far from his most successful from an earnings standpoint, when he won $8,280,096 on the PGA Tour and €5,883,303 in the European circuit.
