Spieth replaces Tiger as golf's top earner in '15

For the first time in 13 years, Tiger Woods was not the top earner in golf.

At $53 million in on-course winnings and off-the-course endorsements, Jordan Spieth was the top earner in 2015, according to estimates by Golf Digest for its annual list.

Spieth earned more than $23 million on the course, thanks in part to winning the Masters, the U.S. Open and the Tour Championship and picking up the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus. Golf Digest estimates that Spieth made $30 million off the course. Spieth signed a new 10-year deal with Under Armour, that included equity in the company, earlier in the year for an undisclosed sum.
