Hey, everyone, it’s your boy again. Today, I’m taking a look at Zach Johnson’s career earnings. I got curious about how much this guy has actually made on the PGA Tour, so I did what I always do – I started digging.
Getting Started
First, I found out that Zach Johnson is a pro golfer from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Born on February 24, 1976, this guy turned pro in 1998 after graduating from Drake University. I also saw that he’s got 12 PGA Tour wins and a total of 26 career wins. That’s pretty impressive!
Diving into the Numbers
Next, I wanted to see the actual numbers. I started by looking at his yearly earnings. Here’s what I found:
- 2017 – He made around $2.5 million.
- 2018 – He earned about $2 million.
- 2019 – This year was a bit lower, with earnings of $603,000.
- 2020 – He bounced back a bit with $777,000.
But these numbers weren’t enough. I needed more details. So, I looked further and found that in 2021, he made $1.25 million and in an unspecified year, $610,000. Also, I read that he earns roughly $4,000,000 per year, which breaks down to about $32,000 a week. Wow, that’s a lot of cash!
Early Career Earnings
I was also curious about his early career. I found out that he finished first and second on the Hooters Tour money list in 2001 and 2002. Then, in the following year, he was the leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour (now called the Korn Ferry Tour). This guy was clearly on a roll from the start.
Total Career Earnings and Net Worth
Now, for the big picture. I discovered that Zach Johnson’s total career earnings on the PGA Tour are around $48,682. That’s just from playing golf, not including any endorsements or other deals. His estimated net worth is around $35 million. That’s a hefty sum, showing just how successful he’s been in his career.
Major Wins
I also looked into his major championship wins. He won the Masters in 2007 and the Open Championship in 2015. These wins definitely contributed to his earnings and overall success. Plus, he captained the U.S. squad at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy. That’s a pretty big deal!
Comparing with Other Golfers
Out of curiosity, I checked out another golfer, Aberg, who reportedly made $10.4 million in his brief PGA Tour career. Aberg is even ahead of major champions like Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas in 2024 earnings, with $7.3 million. It’s interesting to see how different golfers’ earnings stack up.
Wrapping Up
So, there you have it. Zach Johnson has had a really successful career with some serious earnings. From his early days on the Hooters Tour to his major championship wins, he’s made a name for himself and a whole lot of money along the way. Hope you found this deep dive as interesting as I did!
