The 2016-17 PGA Tour season is in the books, and many of the world's top golfers will have healthy deposits to make as they head home for the brief offseason.

Justin Thomas, for example, just earned $10 million for winning the season-long FedEx Cup, the single biggest payday in golf. At the U.S. Open, the purse has swelled to a whopping $12 million, and the Masters, at $11 million, isn't far behind. With so much money in the game, it's no surprise that the top players pile up staggering sums by the end of each season.

Below, check out our breakdown of the top 20 highest-paid golfers on the PGA Tour. The rankings were based on prize money from official events and FedEx Cup earnings.
