Forbes came out with its list of highest-paid athletes over the last year (June 1, 2016 to June 1, 2017), and five golfers made the top 100.

  • Rory McIlroy -- No. 6 ($50 million)
  • Phil Mickelson -- No. 12 ($43.5 million)
  • Tiger Woods -- No. 17 ($37.1 million)
  • Jordan Spieth -- No. 21 ($34.5 million)
  • Dustin Johnson -- No. 48 ($27.6 million)

    That's nearly $200 million earned on and off the course in the last 12 months.
