We’ve come a long way from the days of Walter Hagen, when pros weren’t even allowed in the clubhouse at tour stops… or even Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, when touring pros were still club pros when not on Tour. Such was the way the game paid until the television era. It’s not just a matter of adjusting for today’s dollars; those guys made peanuts on course.

Cruising along in Tiger Woods’ wide wake, today’s top pros can not only stack serious cash on course, but also ink lucrative endorsement deals that the Harry Vardons and James Braids of golf history could never have fathomed.

Golf Digest put together its annual rundown of the game’s top earners, which includes on-course income and an estimate of off-course earnings. Here are some highlights, and you can check out the full article here.

At number 50…well, what would you guess the No. 50 earner pocketed? It’s Padraig Harrington at more than $5 million.

World No. 1 Lydia Ko is 44th at $5.9 million, earning more off course ($3.25 million) than on ($2.69 million).

Davis Love III (No. 38) earned $6 million off the course in 2016.

Martin Kaymer (No. 35) plays on the European Tour primarily and makes six times as much off course ($6 million) as on ($1.78 million).

Miguel Angel Jimenez (No. 32) doesn’t just look like he lives the good life, he can afford to, grossing nearly $8 million last year.

Not surprisingly, few golfers inside the top-30 earned more on course than off.

Colin Montgomerie (No. 20) earned $7.5 million off the course last year.

At No. 19, Greg Norman earned $10 million off course. A little surprising it wasn’t more given the range of his business interests.

Jack Nicklaus (No. 6) and Arnold Palmer (No. 2) combined for more than $60 million in earnings.

Phil Mickelson ($33.5 million) and Tiger Woods ($34.6 million) earned nearly the same amount off course.

Rory McIlroy (No. 1) earned $17.5 million on course. He earned nearly twice that amount off ($32 million).
