Graeme McDowell has earned a staggering amount of cash for his performances on the LIV Tour this season.
One of the forefathers of the tour, McDowell has been a defender of LIV ever since he joined the Saudi backed series last Summer.
After becoming the de-facto face of the controversial group, McDowell hit it big last Summer and earned over $800,000 for his first four events on the tour.

This dwarfed Shane Lowry's PGA earnings over the same period, with McDowell earning more than double the Offaly man.
Backed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, LIV has continued to splash the cash and offer huge prize money for its players.
G-Mac has certainly been a benefactor of that and has earned a huge amount of money this year despite recording some unspectacular finishes.
In his nine LIV events this year, McDowell has earned over $1.4 million.
This means that he earns on average $159,731 per event.
What makes this more remarkable is the fact that McDowell's performances have been lacklustre to say the least.
So far this year, McDowell has failed to finish in the top-10 of a tournament.
His best finish came at the Mayakoba event where he finished in 11th place and took home his biggest payday of the season at $405,000.
Here's a breakdown of McDowell's finishes and prize money for LIV this season:
28/5 LIV Golf DC: 19th place - $250,000
14/5 LIV Golf Tulsa: 46th place - $126,250
