Golf is believed to be the sport of prestige, dignity, class, and upstanding gentleman and ladies (John Daly withstanding). The purse for the Master’s Tournament is now more than a whopping $10 million, so it’s more evident that incredible club skill comes with big paydays. Just like any professional sport, golf also has many endorsements that sweeten the pot. Although this may come as a surprise to most, you need to check out who made our list of golfers with the highest net worth in 2019. Wait until you see just how rich these stars are.
