Louise Suggs (Net Worth: $8 million)
Another LPGA Tour founder, Louise Suggs became another women’s golf legend. Only Mickey Wright and Patty Berg have won more LPGA major championships than Suggs has (she won 11). Suggs had a total of 58 professional tournament victories throughout her career. From 1950 to 1960, she was one of the top three on the season-ending money list, except for one year in that decade. She was part of the inaugural class of LPGA Tour Hall of Famers (1967), and she was elected to the World Golf Hall Fame over a decade later. At the time she passed in 2015, Suggs had an estimated net worth of around $8 million.

Walter Hagen (Net Worth: $20 million)
Widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time, Walter Hagen is behind Tigers Woods and Jack Nicklaus for the most majors in history. If Hagen’s 11 professional major wins had come a few decades later, the golfer would’ve been even richer. With a total of 45 PGA wins, Hagen was among his era’s most dominant golfers. At the time he passed away in 1969, Hagen had an estimated net worth of roughly $20 million. If he had played in an era when there were more lucrative prize winnings, this World Golf Hall of Fame inductee would likely be worth millions more.
