Okay, guys, let’s talk about Viktor Hovland’s earnings in 2023. I’ve been digging into this, and it’s pretty wild how much this guy made.
First off, I started by looking at the big picture. Hovland had an amazing year, right? I mean, the dude won the FedEx Cup! So, I knew his earnings would be massive. I started searching online for his total earnings. It’s all over the place, but I found a few sources that said he made around $34.6 million in 2023. That’s insane, isn’t it?
Then, I wanted to break it down. How did he make so much? I found out that the FedEx Cup win alone got him $18 million. I mean, imagine winning that much just from one tournament! I spent hours going through different websites to get a clear picture of his major wins. Turns out, he also won the Memorial Tournament and the BMW Championship, each giving him $3.6 million. That’s $7.2 million just from those two wins!
But it wasn’t just the big wins. The guy was consistent throughout the year. He played in 22 events and didn’t miss a single cut! I saw that he had eight top-10 finishes. So, I checked each of those events to see what he earned. For example, he came in 10th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and got $485,000. He also finished 3rd in THE PLAYERS Championship.
I went through each event, adding up the numbers. I found that his total prize money from these tournaments was over $14 million. It’s crazy how much these golfers make just from their tournament winnings. I always thought they had a fixed salary but not really. However, I saw some articles mentioning Hovland gets a fixed salary of about $210,000 annually.
To get a complete picture, I also looked at his earnings from previous years. In 2022, he made about $8.5 million. That’s still a lot, but it shows how much better he did in 2023. Some reports I read even said he made almost $10 million in total career earnings before 2023. He really stepped up his game this year.
So, after all this digging, it’s clear that Viktor Hovland had an incredible year. He made a fortune from his tournament wins, especially the FedEx Cup. Plus, his consistent performance throughout the season added a lot to his total earnings. This guy is definitely one of the top earners in golf right now, and it’s fascinating to see how it all adds up.
