With such career earnings, is Billy Horschel the most underrated golfer on the PGA Tour?

It won’t surprise you to know that Billy Horschel is a man of means. His work ethic and drive have made him world no. 11 in June 2022. He seems to be lighthearted and easygoing in his personal life but make no mistake. He is also an extremely fierce competitor. “If someone says I can’t do something, I’m going to do it. If they think their point is correct, I like to prove it’s wrong,”  he said in an interview with Golfweek. However, many in the media see his confidence as arrogance, and it can be said that he is a misunderstood figure in the world of golf.

From his quirky blue octopus pants at the US Open in 2013 to his fiery responses to journalists, there is a lot of ground to be covered if you want to know Billy Horschel. But when it comes to money, Horschel has all his ducks in a row, to say the least. Here’s what we know about his net worth.

Horschel’s net worth is rumored to be around $25 million, as per Golf Span. His career earnings from the PGA Tour are estimated to be $40,219,937. He also owns a $1.25 million mansion in Ponte Verda Beach, in Florida. He also serves as an ambassador for Velocity Global, a workforce management solutions company. He has invested in Beam, a CBD supplement brand that helps with sleep problems. While talking about the brand, Horschel wanted the company to be the “Nike of the CBD world,”  which shows his ambition and belief in the company.

Many popular brands also sponsor Horschel, like Ralph Lauren and Titleist. He has been associated with Ralph Lauren since 2011 and created his first apparel line, RLX Golf Line attire in 2018. When asked about how the idea came into being, the golfer said, “It really just came about last summer. The lead designer for men’s and women’s golf at Ralph Lauren called up [my manager] Sherry [Whay] and said, “Hey listen, we want to possibly do a collection with Billy for 2018. When they called me, I was in Colorado on vacation and I was sort of speechless. I didn’t know what to say, which is unusual for me, but it was something that I was really happy to do.”

The details of his deals with the brands are not publicly available. He is also the first global brand ambassador for BDO, a Chicago-based global accounting network. When the partnership was announced, the CEO of the brand, Wayne Berson was elated, “Billy exemplifies the people-first attitude of our firm through his leadership on the issues of food security and representation as well as his personal values of hard work, continuous learning, and candor.” He also has partnered with Fairmont Hotels as a brand ambassador as of 2020.
