Jon Rahm caddie makes millions after PGA Tour bagman reveals earnings

Jon Rahm has enjoyed a superb start to his LIV Golf career in 2024, and this success came with financial reward which was also reaped by his caddie Adam Hayes

Jon Rahm’s caddie’s earnings are estimated to be just short of $3 millionafter the Spaniard enjoyed an impressive start to life on the LIV Golf circuit.

Rahm became arguably LIV’s biggest signing 13 months ago, leaving the PGA Tour to join the Saudi league in a deal worth a reported $600 million. The Spaniard then went on to add to his riches on the course, winning two LIV titles in the UK and Chicago on the way to becoming the league’s individual champion.

His two victories came with two $4 million wins, and after getting his hands on the year-long crown, the breakaway league rewarded Rahm with an eye-watering $18 million bonus.

Across his season with the LIV setup, the four major championships, and three recent starts on the DP World Tour Rahm made a cool $35.5 million in prize money. Of course, the former world No. 1 was not the only one to benefit, with his caddie Adam Hayes earning his fair share of the earnings.

Kopskick admitted to his followers on X that he takes home eight percent of Silverman’s tournament earnings, which saw him make $101,007.92 of his player’s $1,262,599 prize money. Silverman’s sidekick also revealed that he receives an additional $2,000 for every event they partner with each other.

Taking the eight percent equation, this would mean Rahm’s right-hand man Hayes would have cashed in $2.8 million for his efforts. At the highest level caddies of course play a bigger role than carrying the bag and cleaning the clubs, and Rahm revealed just how important his long-time partner is to his success.
