It must feel pretty good to be Talor Gooch right about now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American golfer<\/a> won the LIV Golf Invitational in Singapore while you were sleeping to secure his second victory in as many weeks. Just last weekend, he won the LIV Golf<\/a> event in Adelaide for his first career win on the Saudi-backed tour. Gooch's RangeGoats GC also finished first and second, respectively, in the team competition the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk about a hot streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last eight days alone, Gooch has banked $9.1 million in LIV Golf winnings. He earned nearly the same amount of money in 121 career starts on the PGA Tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The switch to LIV Golf<\/a> was alluring to PGA Tour pros for a multitude of reasons, the biggest one being the massive pay raise. No one is reaping the benefits of these large purses quite like Talor Gooch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Gooch shot two straight rounds of 10-under 62 at Grange Golf Course in Adelaide to cruise to his first victory on the rival tour. If that wasn't enough, the 31-year-old won again in Singapore a week later to become the first back-to-back champion on the LIV Golf Invitational Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gooch banked $4 million for each of his individual titles, and because his RangeGoats GC won the team competition in Singapore and finished second in Adelaide, he added another $1,125,000. Add it all up, and that's $9,125,000 in earnings in the last eight days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 13 starts on the Saudi-backed tour, Gooch has won more than $19 million in on-course earnings alone. And that doesn't even include his signing bonus, which was likely an eight-digit figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it's safe to say Gooch is enjoying himself away from the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
