Bernhard Langer Net Worth 2024: Career Earnings, Sponsors & Endoresments Explored

To have the longevity to play the arduous game of golf just five months after undergoing surgery for his Achilles tendon, Bernhard Langer knows how to win and how to preserve through every phase of his life. The 66-year-old German pro enjoys a career that started in 1972 on the European lands.

However, as far as his love for playing the game of golf goes, Langer has traveled around the world, from the American greens to the Japanese and Australian ones as well.  Through it all—wins, losses, and some top finishes—the 66-year-old has not only become a prominent golfer but has also earned multi-millions in his career.

Bernhard Langer and his love to win all around the globe

Bernhard Langer started his professional career after he traveled from his small village in Germany, Anhausen, to the larger part of Europe. He turned professional in 1972 and joined the DP World Tour two years later. A good nine years after turning pro, Langer carded his first victory on the European Tour at the 1980 Dunlop Masters.

At that time, nobody, not even Langer, could have expected that he would play for more than 40 years and would also become the second-most-winning golfer on the European Tour. Yes, the 66-year-old amassed 42 career titles on the DP World Tour, his latest going back to the 2002 Volvo Masters Andalucia. Through his 42 victories, which include the 1985 and 1993 Masters, Langer earned $11,903,915 on the European Circuit.

But that’s not all; after he turned 50, he shifted from playing on the DP World Tour to the senior tour of Europe, the Legends Tour. There too, Langer was fortunate enough to win eight times and earn around $12,072,277; the sum of his career earnings on the DP World Tour and Legends Tour comes out to be $23,976,192.

This shouldn’t be surprising, as Langer has won 50 times in both leagues and also finished in the top many times. But for a career that, as said, has seen many corners of the world, Langer has also earned millions on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions. How much are his career earnings on these two?

How profitable has Bernhard Langer’s career been on the PGA Tour?

For most of his career, Langer was busy playing on the European Tour. However, in between those, he still managed to make 326 starts on the PGA Tour. Out of which, the German pro only won three times, including twice at Augusta National and once at the 1985 Sea Pines Heritage. Over the 100 starts, Langer successfully bagged $10,759,526 in official career money on the PGA Tour.

Then, after he started focusing on the senior leagues as he turned 50, Langer’s rise in the golf world started once again. Starting in 2007, Langer just never stopped and became the only player to win 46 times on the PGA Tour. On top of that, he has won the senior majors twelve times and is the only one of two golfers to complete the Senior Major Slam on the PGA Tour Champions.

With these many laurels staking up his shelf, Langer also won the Charles Schwab Cup and its bonuses eight times on the PGA Tour. Thus, the official career money the 66-year-old has earned on just PGA Tour Champions comes out to be $36,253,038, per the PGA Tour.

To add to it, with the bonus of $8.2 million from Charles Schwab Cups, Langer’s total money goes way above the $40 million mark, though it is unofficial. This all makes Langer one of the highest choices for brands to represent them. This is also another way that Langer’s net worth has grown.

Bernhard Langer is still in demand to attract sponsors

It does not come as a surprise that, even at the age of 66, Bernhard Langer attracts new brands to sponsor him. After all, he can win and represent the brand better than any other senior golfer. Thus, in 2021, Langer signed a multi-year deal with U.S. LBM, a US-based company for building product distribution.

Around that time, he also became a part of Tour Edge as a staff golfer. How did Langer feel after signing the new deals? As per Forbes, the 66-year-old was elated as he expressed, “It feels fantastic. It feels great. I’m still fairly visible on TV quite a bit,” because of his consistent wins at the PGA Tour Champions.

The German pro also added that it was exciting to see that companies are still interested in him after all these years. Out of all the endorsements, Langer’s oldest one has been with Mercedes-Benz, which also became his stylish ride for the 2023 Masters.

And then Rolex, Berenberg that sits on his hat, Bogner near his chest, Winston Golf, and Sanford Health are also on Langer’s long list of sponsors. With all these brands still backing him up, the 66-year-old reportedly earns more than a million every year. His career earnings have also been increasing as he plays the game on the PGA Tour Champions.

Henceforth, his career earnings go well above $60 million, and his net worth comes out to be nearly $25 million. With just how many years Bernhard Langer has played, his bags are only going to double as he rakes in more wins and becomes the most popular senior golfer.
