Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I figured out Taylor Gooch’s LIV earnings. It wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it took some digging and a bit of cross-referencing. Let’s dive right in!
First off, I started with the obvious: Google. I punched in “Taylor Gooch LIV Golf earnings” and got a bunch of news articles and leaderboard results. But most of them just talked about individual tournament wins or overall season standings. Not the detailed breakdown I was after.
Next, I headed over to the LIV Golf official website. Figured they’d have a dedicated section with player stats. Turns out, while they do have leaderboards and news, the exact earnings figures aren’t plastered all over the place. They make you work for it a little!
So, I started clicking through each tournament result where Gooch had played. I’d check the prize money distribution for each event. You can usually find this information in the tournament recap articles on the LIV Golf site, or on golf news sites like Golf Channel or ESPN.
Once I found the payout structure, I’d then look at where Gooch finished in that specific tournament. If he came in first, sweet! That prize money was easy to grab. If he was somewhere in the middle, it took a bit more squinting and scrolling to find his exact spot.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit trickier. LIV Golf also has team events, and players get paid based on their team’s performance too. This means I had to figure out which team Gooch was on for each tournament and how his team placed. Again, more digging through tournament results and news reports.
I kept a simple spreadsheet to track all the earnings from individual tournaments and team events. This was crucial, because otherwise, I’d lose my mind trying to keep everything straight.
One thing to watch out for: some reports might mention guaranteed money or signing bonuses that LIV players receive. But these are usually kept under wraps and not publicly disclosed. So, my final earnings number only includes actual winnings from tournaments.
After going through each tournament Gooch played in for a particular season (or timeframe), I added up all the individual and team earnings. This gave me a pretty solid estimate of his total on-course earnings.
- Tip: Double-check your numbers! It’s easy to make a mistake when you’re dealing with so many figures.
Challenges I Faced
The biggest challenge was definitely the lack of a centralized database for player earnings. It would have been so much easier if LIV Golf just had a page with detailed stats. Maybe someday they will!
Also, piecing together team earnings was a pain. Sometimes the team names changed, or the team composition was different from one tournament to the next.
But, in the end, after a few hours of searching, clicking, and number-crunching, I managed to get a decent idea of Taylor Gooch’s LIV earnings. It’s not an exact science, but it’s close enough for a good estimate. Hopefully, this helps you understand the process I used. Good luck if you decide to try it yourself!
