Despite Rory McIlroy dominating headlines this year for his stellar play and strong backing for the PGA Tour, Tiger again leads the program based on criteria like Google searches, brand exposure, and social media influence. Rory will still receive $12m for making second place, alongside a huge financial payout for his efforts on and off the course this season.

As we know, Tiger played in only a handful of competitive tournaments and missed the cut in the Open, as well as WD’ing from the PGA on Saturday.

His performance at Augusta was arguably one of his most impressive, making the cut despite clearly being in immense pain following his car accident in 2021. Tiger topped the PIP in 2021 largely due to widespread interest in his rehab and whether we would see him play again.

2022 has brought its own set of challenges with combating LIV Golf, and Tiger touched down in Delaware to attend the players-only meeting.

In 2023, the top 20 players will receive their PIP bonus after playing in 13 ‘elevated events’ that they qualify for, as well as three non-elevated events.

Tiger may receive future exemption due to serious injury and can still qualify for his PIP payout. He once again proves he is the needle and still remains the most marketable, most sought-after man in the sport.
