It’s safe to say Coco Gauff had a successful and lucrative 2023. Sportico dropped its annual list of highest-paid female athletes for 2023, and the tennis star topped it for the first time with an estimated annual earnings of $22.7 million. The 19-year-old Gauff took home $6.7 million in on-court earnings this year, including $3 million for winning her first Grand Slam title at the US Open. Her $16 million in endorsement pay comes from partnerships with New Balance and Head, alongside other deals with Barilla pasta, Bose, UPS, and Rolex. Gauff narrowly beat out fellow tennis star Iga Swiatek, who ranked No. 2 at $21.9 million.

Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm has agreed to leave the PGA Tour for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League, he announced Thursday. The current world No. 3 famously guaranteed his commitment to the PGA Tour in early 2022, saying the Tour “is the best for me and my future in golf, and I think the best legacy I can accomplish will be with the PGA Tour.” Rahm‘s deal with LIV is expected to be worth between $450-600 million, making him among the richest the league has offered any golfer. For context, Forbes had the 29-year-old ninth on this year’s highest-paid golfers list with $52 million earned. The PGA Tour is in the final weeks of negotiations with officials from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to reach a framework agreement that will merge the two into PGA Tour Enterprises, a for-profit entity. The deadline to reach this agreement is set for Dec. 31.

Tidal laid off more than 10% — roughly 40 employees — of its staff this week. The streaming service, majority-owned by Jack Dorsey’s digital payments company Block, said that cutbacks occurred to “ensure we are able to continue to build and invest in critical areas of the business.” First reported by Bloomberg, the outlet’s anonymous sources suggest that the Tidal cuts include “a portion of the curation team that builds playlists.”
