We also give you the rundown of how this data has been gathered and what it means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please note that all data gathered is through <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, looking at a worldwide search.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Are The Most Searched For Golfers In The World?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second major championship of the year is just around the corner, with all the best golfers in the world heading to Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. The 106th edition of the PGA Championship takes place from Thursday May 16th to Sunday 19th, with a whole host of players looking to get their hands on the coveted Wanamaker Trophy come Sunday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time a major championship was held at Valhalla was exactly a decade ago. In 2014 it was the PGA Championship held there, which was won by Rory McIlroy. This was also the last time McIlroy actually won a major title, so he will be hopeful of repeating that feat a decade on on the hallowed Valhalla turf once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coincidentally, it is that man, Rory McIlroy, who would be heading into the 106th PGA Championship as the single most searched golfer in the world, if it weren\u2019t for a certain Tiger Woods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> search volume data, arguably the greatest golfer of all time and 15-time major champion, Tiger Woods, is the single most searched for golfer ahead of the 106th PGA Championship, based on the average monthly search volume of a keyword over the past 12 months of data. His global search volume of 1.4 million is over 750,000 more than his nearest competitor in Rory McIlroy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite only playing the majors nowadays, it is evident that Tiger Woods is quite clearly still the single biggest name in professional golf by a country mile. For Rory, the Northern Irishman remains one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour, as well as being at the forefront of professional golf as a spokesperson and role model of the PGA Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McIlroy\u2019s popularity both on and off the golf course seemingly translates into a high search volume as well. The four-time major winner has 639,000 average monthly searches of his name &#8211; over 180,000 more than his nearest competitor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Woods and McIlroy are miles ahead of the rest of the pack, with two-time major champion and now LIV Golf star Jon Rahm coming in third. \u2018Rahmbo\u2019 boasts roughly 459,000 average monthly searches of his name on the internet through various search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next comes Norwegian golfing superstar and reigning FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland. The Team Europe Ryder Cup hero has a global search volume of 399,000, which is 70,000 more than the next most popular golfer in the world &#8211; Brooks Koepka. The five-time major champion aims to defend his Wanamaker Trophy at Valhalla this week, and is the fifth most popular golfer according to global search volume right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just behind Koepka is the most dominant golfer in the world right now &#8211; Scottie Scheffler. The current world number one, two-time Masters champion and almost unbeatable Scheffler has an average monthly search volume of 257,000. The comes reigning US Open champion Wyndham Clark with 248,000 global search volume, with Rickie Fowler (241,000), Justin Thomas (206,000) and Jordan Spieth (204,000) making up the rest of the Top 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are the most popular golfers in the world right now ahead of the 2024 PGA Championship, based on search volume metrics courtesy of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It is worth noting that for all of the players on this list, their respective search volume is a total of their full name and surname search volume combined. For example, Rory McIlroy\u2019s search volume for his full name sits at 608,000, with the term \u2018McIlroy\u2019 yielding 31,000 average monthly searches. Add those together and you get his total search volume of 639,000. This is the same for every player on the following lists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Are The Top 10 Most Popular Golfers In The World?<\/b><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Ranking<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Player<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Global SV<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">1.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Tiger Woods<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">1,400,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">2.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Rory McIlroy<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">639,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">3.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Jon Rahm<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">459,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">4.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Viktor Hovland<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">399,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">5.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Brooks Koepka<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">329,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">6.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Scottie Scheffler<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">257,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">7.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Wyndham Clark<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">248,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">8.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Rickie Fowler<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">241,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">9.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Justin Thomas<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">206,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">10.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">Jordan Spieth<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;vertical-align: middle\">204,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Note: Numerical figures based on number of searches on average per month<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Search Volume (SV)?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In short, search volume, abbreviated to SV, is the amount of times people type in something to the search engines over a period of time. With the more popular searches getting a higher \u2018search volume\u2019 overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This can be monitored using software such as <em>Ahrefs<\/em>, that records this sort of data and regularly updates it. Thus, you can gather extensive data and research on how popular a specific search term is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this case, the SV \u2018Search Volume\u2019 used for this professional golfers list is an estimation of the average monthly number of searches for a keyword over the latest known 12 months of data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth noting that the search volume number doesn\u2019t automatically update instantly, it can take time. So if a player wins a tournament for example, it might take a few days\/weeks for the search volume to update accurately, rather than instantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>15-Time Major Champion Tiger Woods Most Searched Professional Golfer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over 750,000 average monthly searches ahead of Rory McIlroy is the great man himself &#8211; Tiger Woods. The 48-year-old has been at the centre of professional golf ever since he turned professional back in August of 1996 at the age of just 20. In fact, there was a lot of hype surrounding Woods before he even turned professional. It didn\u2019t take long for Woods to make an impact either, winning his first PGA Tour tournament months after turning professional and winning The Masters in April 1997 by a record-breaking 12 strokes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As soon as Tiger Woods turned professional, he signed an endorsement deal with Nike. That deal has only just ended almost 28 years later. The American golfing star boasts a global search volume of 1.4 million &#8211; over three-quarters-of-a-million more than the next most searched for golfer in the world. This comes as no surprise given the impact Woods has had on the sport of golf over the best part of three decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He is tied for the record with Sam Sneyd for the most PGA Tour victories (82), as well as being second only to Jack Nicklaus in terms of major championship victories (15). Tiger has always been popular. He somewhat transcended the sport of golf, dominating the professional scene for the majority of his career. Not to mention his incredible comeback in 2019 when he won The Masters at Augusta against all odds at the age of 43.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s fair to say that Tiger Woods remains and will always remain one of the biggest stars in world golf. You can bet your bottom dollar that in 50 years, the world will still talk about Tiger Woods and the impact he had on the sport of golf. So even though he is 48-years-old now and coming to the end of his career, he still remains the second most popular player in terms of search volume in the entire world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rory McIlroy Second Most Searched For Pro Golfer Ahead Of 106th PGA Championship<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you can see in the table above, Rory McIlroy is quite comfortably the second most searched for player in the world of professional golf behind Tiger. The four-time major champion and 25-time PGA Tour winner boasts upward of 639,000 average monthly searches on his name through online search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McIlroy has been at the forefront of professional golf for over 15 years now. Having won his first European Tour event back in February 2009 and his first major championship in June 2011, the 34-year-old quickly became one of the most talked about and popular golfers in the world. There was a lot of hype about McIlroy since the day he turned professional, with a huge following being built from the outset. Not only that, but the Americans were quick to support the Northern Irishman when he began to make waves in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Holywood man has always had a strong following from his home country of Northern Ireland, but his popularity grew at a rapid rate as he began to win frequently on both the European Tour and PGA Tour. Fast forward to now and McIlroy is even more popular than Tiger Woods, despite not having won a major for a decade now. Coincidentally, it was the PGA Championship that McIlroy won at Valhalla 10 years ago that was his last. Could he do it again this year? You certainly wouldn\u2019t put it past him!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Multiple Major Champions Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler &amp; Brooks Koepka Remain Amongst The Top 10 Most Searched For Golfers In The UK<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Although Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are head and shoulders above any other golfer in the world in terms of search volume, there are certainly several other big names who are highly popular in their own right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two-time major champion Jon Rahm sits at number three on the list of most searched for golfers in the world per <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with world number one Scottie Scheffler sitting in sixth place. Three-time major champion Jordan Spieth, two-time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and 2023 US Open winner Wyndham Clark are more major champions inside the Top 10, as is five-time major winner and LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Viktor Hovland is the most popular non-major winner in the world of golf with an average monthly search of 399,000. Popular and somewhat rejuvenated American golfing phenom Rickie Fowler makes up the remainder of the Top 10 most searched for golfers in the world ahead of the 106th PGA Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking at the Top 10 list, just two LIV Golf stars feature. Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka are the only two LIV Golf players who feature amongst the most popular golfers in the world per global SV. The next most searched for LIV Golf players are the likes of Bryson DeChambeau (124,000), Dustin Johnson (81,000), Cameron Smith (145,000) and Phil Mickelson (190,000).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Top 10 Most Searched Professional Golfers In More Detail<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Below we look more in-depth at the 10 most popular golfers in the world according to their average monthly UK search volume. This includes a short insight into their career, their career statistics, achievements and a bit more about their life as one of the most searched for and sought after professional golfers in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tiger Woods &#8211; 1,400,000+ SV<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age: 48<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nationality: Northern Irish<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major Wins: 15<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGA Tour Wins: 82<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiger Woods really needs no introduction at all. He is widely regarded as the single greatest golfer to ever pick up a golf club (Jack Nicklaus might have something to say about that though). The American has won an incredible 15 major championships as well as a staggering 82 PGA Tour events over his illustrious and fruitful career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Woods is now an inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame and is one of the most famous athletes or sports people in history, not just in golf. He has had some controversies off the course as well as struggling with several injuries throughout his career as well. However, that never stopped him from winning golf tournaments and becoming the dominant force in golf that he was for almost two decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At 48-years-old Woods is entering the final stages of his career, but still has the appetite for golf and the want to continue to win. Now he just plays in the four majors and still firmly believes he is good enough to win another one before he retires for good. Tiger Woods is a golfing phenomenon to say the least, taking the sport to new heights with his dominance.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44168\" title=\"Tiger Woods\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tiger-Woods-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Woods\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tiger-Woods-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tiger-Woods.jpg 760w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<h3><b>Rory McIlroy &#8211; 639,000+ SV<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age: 35<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nationality: Northern Irish<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major Wins: 4<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGA Tour Wins: 26<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rory McIlroy remains the most popular figure in golf alongside Tiger Woods. The Northern Irishman has had a hugely successful career, which includes winning four major championships, 26 PGA Tour events, 17 European Tour events and a handful of other events around the world too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Holywood man is currently ranked at number two in the Official World Golf Rankings behind Scottie Scheffler. It has been 10 years since McIlroy won his last major championship, but he has come close on several occasions, continuing to knock on the door year after year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McIlroy is one of just three players in the history of professional golf to have won four majors by the time he was 25-years-old. Not only that, but the Northern Irishman became the youngest player to reach $10 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour as well. Fast forward to today and McIlroy is also a three time FedEx Cup winner, as well as now being an influential figure representing the PGA Tour off the golf course as well as on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44173\" title=\"Rory McIlroy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rory-McIlroy-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Rory McIlroy\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rory-McIlroy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rory-McIlroy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rory-McIlroy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rory-McIlroy.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<h3><b>Jon Rahm &#8211; 459,000+ SV<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age: 29<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nationality: Spanish<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major Wins: 2<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGA Tour Wins: 11<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jon Rahm remains one of the best players in the world right now. The Spanish golfing juggernaut has two major championships to his name having won the 2021 US Open and 2023 Masters. He has also won 11 times on the PGA Tour and 10 times on the European Tour since turning pro in 2016.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At one stage, Rahm was world number one for quite some time, as well as becoming the first Spanish golfer to win the coveted US Open back in 2021. Rahm had been a dominant force on the PGA Tour alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler before making the switch to LIV Golf in December 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since his move to LIV, Rahm has somewhat struggled with his game. However, he remains one of the best players in the world and will certainly be in contention in various major championships in years to come. It\u2019s fair to say that Rahm is second only to the great Seve Ballasteros as one of the best Spanish golfers of all time. He has likely surpassed the likes of Jose Maria Olazabal, Sergio Garcia and Miguel Angel Jiminez on the list of all time golfing greats from Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44180\" title=\"Jon Rahm\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jon-Rahm-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"Jon Rahm\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jon-Rahm-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jon-Rahm-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jon-Rahm-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jon-Rahm.jpeg 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<h3><b>Viktor Hovland &#8211; 399,000+ SV<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age: 26<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nationality: Norwegian<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major Wins: 0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGA Tour Wins: 6<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Viktor Hovland is one of the most likeable characters on the PGA Tour today.

The American has won 19 times as a professional golfer, including nine times on the PGA Tour, seven times on the European Tour and three times at LIV Golf. Not only that, but Koepka has five major championships under his belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Koepka\u2019s first taste of major success came in June 2017, winning the US Open for the very first time. The American then retained his title a year later at Shinnecock Hills, before adding the Wanamaker Trophy to his list of major triumphs months later at the 2018 PGA Championship. That was the first of three wins in the PGA Championship, winning it again in 2019 before regaining the Wanamaker just last year. Notable, the 33-year-old also became the first LIV Golf star to win a major title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBrooksy\u201d has also represented Team USA on four occasions at the Ryder Cup, winning twice. He also won the 2017 Presidents Cup with Team USA. Koepka was one of the highest profile moves from the PGA Tour to LIV back in 2022, and has since won three tournaments at LIV Golf as well as the PGA Championship last year of course.

It isn\u2019t even a question. Scheffler dominates the world of golf right now, having also won the first major of 2024 at The Masters in April at Augusta National &#8211; his second Green Jacket. The 27-year-old will likely remain as world number one for a long time, regularly winning PGA Tour events with relative ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He has been world number one for over 87 weeks collectively, as well as being the first man in history to win The Players back-to-back in 2023 and 2024 respectively. The American only turned professional back in 2019, which makes his dominance since then even more remarkable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He has won 13 times as a professional, including 10 PGA Tour tournaments. In 2024 alone, Scheffler has won four times in five successive tournaments. The only one he didn\u2019t win in that stretch was the Houston Open. There is no doubt that Scheffler will continue to dominate the world of golf for years to come, and will without any question win plenty more majors and even more regular PGA Tour events.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44172\" title=\"RBC Heritage Round Three\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"RBC Heritage Round Three\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Scottie-Scheffler-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<h3><b>Wyndham Clark &#8211; 248,000+ SV<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Age: 30<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nationality: American<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major Wins: 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PGA Tour Wins: 3<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wyndham Clark made a name for himself in the world of professional golf just last year, winning his first PGA Tour tournament in May 2023 at the Wells Fargo Championship.

As the overall list of the Top 10 most searched for golfers in the world showed, 80% of them are PGA Tour players with just two LIV Golf players on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, the first eight names on the following list of the Top 25 most popular PGA Tour golfers in terms of search volume will come as no surprise. 15-time major champion Tiger Woods of course leads the way with an average monthly SV globally of 1.4 million, with Rory McIlroy in second, over 750,000 behind the American, with 639,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Viktor Hovland is third with 399,000 average monthly searches of his name, whilst Scottie Scheffler (257,000) and Wyndham Clark (248,000) are next in fourth and fifth respectively. Richie Fowler is in sixth with 241,000, whilst two-time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas (206,000) and three-time major champion Jordan Spieth (204,000) in seventh and eighth respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm were the only other two players in the Top 10 most popular professional golfers in terms of average monthly search volume that were LIV Golf stars, the rest of this PGA Tour player SV list won\u2019t be common knowledge. It is in fact reigning Open Championship winner, Brian Harman, who comes in at nine on the most popular golfers on the PGA Tour, per search volume.

the Top 10 most popular golfers in the world based on search volume through various online search engines. Both Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka are still two of the best players in the world right now despite playing in the Saudi Arabia backed golf league, hence why they feature on the full list. Not to mention the fact that both won a major championship last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, once you dive a little deeper it is evident that on the whole, the popularity of players representing LIV Golf is in fact far lesser than that of regular PGA Tour players. Yes, there are plenty of major winners now at LIV and still some huge names in golfing circles, but the majority of players have become less popular since making the move to Greg Norman\u2019s golf league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With Jon Rahm (459,000) and Brooks Koepka (329,000) as the two leading lights at LIV Golf in terms of search volume, who follows? Well, there is roughly a 139,000 gap between Koepka in second and Phil Mickelson in third. Mickelson, the six-time major champion, has an average monthly SV of 190,000. This is followed by Aussie golfer and former Claret Jug winner Cameron Smith in fourth with 145,000 and Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 US Open champion, making up the Top 5 with 124,000 average monthly searches of his name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next on the list of the most popular LIV Golf players in terms of search volume is multiple major winner Dustin Johnson. The former Masters champion is the last LIV Golf player to have a search volume of over 50,000. This might surprise people somewhat, given how popular a player \u2018Dusty\u2019 is and how successful he has been throughout his professional golf career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former European Ryder Cup hero Tyrrell Hatton comes next on the list of the most popular LIV Golf stars. The colourful Englishman has an SV of 48,000, with former Masters champion Patrick Reed next on the list with 40,000 global SV. Joaquin Niemann (33,700) and Adrian Meronk (33,600) make up the remainder of the Top 10 most searched for LIV Golf players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compare those numbers to that of the Top 10 most popular players on the PGA Tour.

Paul is confident and competent at writing in-depth stories, features and betting predictions on a regular basis for SafeBettingSites. Having worked in the sports media industry ever since graduating from Liverpool John Moores University in 2020, where he attained a First Class Honours Degree in Sports Journalism, Paul has jumped at the opportunity to attend numerous live sporting events on a regular basis. This includes working at some high calibre boxing, darts, UFC and football events over the years. Paul has covered a whole host of sports for BBC Sport, as well as being a consistent and regular contributor at ESBR Boxing for several years before becoming a Director in March 2024. Paul\u2019s expertise lies in a wide range of sports, but he is particularly specialised in boxing, MMA, golf, football, darts and horse racing. He is also well-rounded in various sports which he may be less familiar with. Working in sports he is less familiar with helps him learn new skills, as well as nurturing the ability to adapt and overcome potential obstacles. Being a sports fanatic, Paul relishes the opportunity at taking on new challenges and is happy to try his hand at anything. During his time studying at university, Paul had the opportunity to gain some vital work experience at both Everton Football Club and BBC Radio 1.

Paul is confident and competent at writing in-depth stories, features and betting predictions on a regular basis for SafeBettingSites. Having worked in the sports media industry ever since graduating from Liverpool John Moores University in 2020, where he attained a First Class Honours Degree in Sports Journalism, Paul has jumped at the opportunity to attend numerous live sporting events on a regular basis. This includes working at some high calibre boxing, darts, UFC and football events over the years. Paul has covered a whole host of sports for BBC Sport, as well as being a consistent and regular contributor at ESBR Boxing for several years before becoming a Director in March 2024. Paul\u2019s expertise lies in a wide range of sports, but he is particularly specialised in boxing, MMA, golf, football, darts and horse racing. He is also well-rounded in various sports which he may be less familiar with. Working in sports he is less familiar with helps him learn new skills, as well as nurturing the ability to adapt and overcome potential obstacles. Being a sports fanatic, Paul relishes the opportunity at taking on new challenges and is happy to try his hand at anything. During his time studying at university, Paul had the opportunity to gain some vital work experience at both Everton Football Club and BBC Radio 1. This has helped Paul master his knowledge of sports writing, as well as learning new skills with competence and proficiency.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010816904663","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paull_kelly\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/paul-kelly-16a10b98c\/","https:\/\/x.com\/paulkelly98"],"url":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/author\/paulkelly\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44165"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/181"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44165"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44191,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44165\/revisions\/44191"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safebettingsites.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
