The 2014 is barely starting and we already wonder who is going to shine this year. Despite the fact Golf might not be as spectacular as Soccer, Basketball or even Formula 1, it pays quite well. Some of the best players of the PGA Tour are literally multi-millionnaires. And of course we take in consideration only what they earned during championships. If we add the sponsoring contracts and other advertising jobs, the amount could even be higher. Here are some interesting stats in terms of earnings for the best Golf players in the world.
