Tour Championship Golf — Viktor Hovland poses with the trophy after winning the FedEx Cup

Viktor Hovland won the 2023 FedEx Cup, the biggest title of his career, on Sunday, August 27, beating Xander Schauffele by a five-stroke difference. This win also earned him a whopping check of $18 million, which took his earnings to over $33,000,000 this season.

The earnings of $33 million mean Hovland earned $1,457,053 for every event he featured in, $19,678 for every hole he played, and $5,142 for every shot he played on the PGA Tour in the 2022–23 season.

The 25-year-old Norwegian successfully made the cut in all 23 starts this season. He secured a top-10 finish nine times and clinched three victories. Additionally, he was also the joint runner-up at the PGA Championship.

Besides the FedEx Cup bonus of $18 million, Hovland made $14.1 million and is placed third on the official money list. His career earnings have gone up to $53,599,779 after the 2022–23 season.

Earlier this year, the PGA Tour introduced designated elevated events, with 13 tournaments featuring purses of $15 million or more. This move has significantly boosted the earnings of PGA Tour professionals.

Scottie Scheffler topped the official money list for the second time in a row, earning $21,014,342 with the help of two victories. Jon Rahm, who claimed four titles, including the Masters, this season, was second with earnings of $16.5 million. Rory McIlroy took $13,921,008 home this season.
