LIV Golf has been in the news ever since it was launched by former professional golfer Greg Norman. The Saudi-backed league focused on getting in players from the PGA Tour by offering them huge monetary deals. However, despite making it to the big contracts, the players are suffering from several setbacks for their decision to leave the PGA Tour. And a major one of them is having access to OWGR points. Moreover, this is also impacting their rights over the PIP money due to their decision of joining LIV Golf. WILL LIV GOLF REBELS EARN THE PIP BONUS THIS YEAR? Players who shifted to the LIV Golf league after leaving the PGA Tour are starting to realize what was wrong with their decision. The golfers were well aware of the consequences they would have to face if they joined the new league. However, Norman constantly motivated them and assured them that they would receive everything under his league. But as of now, LIV players are facing some huge setbacks as a result of their career choices.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports The PIP Money list is out now and contains the list of the players who will earn bonuses out of the $100 million pool. And as expected, none of these players belong to the Saudi-funded league. In fact, all these players are PGA Tour loyalists. It was expected to be this way since the Player Impact Program is intended [https://golf.com/news/2022-player-impact-program-results-tiger-woods/] to “generate the most positive interest in the PGA Tour.” And since LIV Golf is currently the biggest rival for the former tour, it is not wrong for the tour to reward only its most important members. Announcement [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-who-cares-golf-world-fumes-over-liv-golfs-latest-upcoming-season-announcement/] The total sum of $100 million was distributed among 20 professionals. And to everyone’s surprise, despite having a bad year, Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/] was on top of the list earning the maximum bonus. But players [https://sportstar.thehindu.com/golf/rory-mcilroy-a-runner-up-in-pip-again-to-push-season-total-to-40m-tiger-woods-bmw-championships-pga-tour/article66112691.ece] like Phil Mickelson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/phil-mickelson/], Dustin Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-johnson/], Brooks Koepka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brooks-koepka/], and Bryson DeChambeau [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bryson-dechambeau/], who were there in the inaugural list, are nowhere to be found among the PGA Tour pros. This means that the LIV Golf players are not going to receive anything out of the PIP bonus. Players in the list of top 20 include Woods, Rory McIlroy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/], Jordan Spieth [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/], Justin Thomas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-thomas/], Jon Rahm [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-rahm/], Scottie Scheffler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/scottie-scheffler/], etc. While Woods earned $15 million out of the total amount, the list goes on to the share of $2 million for spots 16-20.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Brooks Koepka?Â </strong></h2>
The golf world has a long list of greats, and Brooks Koepka is unquestionably a part of that list. With his incredible golf skills and having established himself as a five-time major winner, he has become a force to be reckoned with on the greens. He turned pro in 2012, and ever since he has achieved a lot of accolades and milestones, both personally and professionally. Let us dive deeper into the life of American golf and explore his history with the sport, his future, and his ever-growing conspiracies.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s early lifeÂ </strong></h2>
Brooks Koepka was born on May 3, 1990, in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. He attended Cardinal Newman High School. Koepka was 10 when he first picked up a golf club. Until then, the golf pro often played contact sports. But at the age of 10, he was involved in a terrible car accident that left him with severe facial injuries, resulting in his not being allowed anywhere near contact sports.

The huge silver lining in it, of course, was that, because of that, he found his love for golf. And it has only been growing ever since.

His mother, Denise Jakows, and his father, Bob Koepka, certainly did a great job raising and supporting the golf pro. His family also seems to have an athletic gene.

Koepka has a younger brother, Chase, who is also a pro golfer and now plays on the European Tour. Moreover, his father had athletic roots; he was a college baseball player at West Virginia Wesleyan who found an interest in golf later on and imparted it to his sons. Koepka's sons are also the nephews of the legendary baseball player, Dick Groat.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
Koepka isn't just a golfer, but ever since June 2022, the LIV golfer has come to be known as a loving husband, owing to his marriage to American actress Jena Sims. Sims and the golf pro met at the 2015 Masters. Their relationship started as friends and soon grew into something more. In 2017, the pair announced that they were officially together, and four years later, the golf star popped the question.

After announcing her pregnancy in early May, Sims gave birth to their son, Crew Keopka, on July 27, 2022. Crew was born prematurely (six weeks early) and had to spend some time in the NICU. While expressing his joy to the world, Koepka said,<em> â€œI love my crew,â€</em> as he posted a picture with Jena and his newborn son.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s net worth in 2024Â </strong></h2>
In recent years, his valuation has shot up thanks to his career choices, primarily moving to LIV Golf in 2022. Last year, in 2023, he earned a whopping $5,057,192 from the PGA Tour and approximately $17.7 million from LIV Golf. Koepkaâ€™s net worth is presently estimated to be $50 million, as per many websites.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Brooks Koepka turned pro in 2012, and the 2014â€“15 season was the first ever season that he competed on the PGA Tour. He had a successful run on the Tour, where he clenched eight victories while he was a pro competing on the American Tour.

In 2022, the golfer decided to leave the American Tour and start playing for LIV Golf. He signed a deal for approximately $100 million. Since then, he has been competing there and is having a successful time, having won three times so far and earning over $17 million in just 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s controversies</strong></h2>
Throughout his career, Koepka has been in the media for controversies. Perhaps his biggest was when he jumped ship and left the PGA Tour to sign with LIV Golf. For this, the golf pro faced the same consequences as all the other defectors: he was banned indefinitely from competing in any PGA Tour events.

Moreover, he faced heavy scrutiny from the public for turning his back on the tour. To date, Koepka has dealt with the consequences of his switch, with fans lashing out at him and trolling him at every possible opportunity.

At the 2023 Masters, too, the controversy didn't leave Koepka alone. During the first round of the event, the defector had a brilliant round, carding 32 on his front nine. But at the 15th hole, a storm began brewing. The golfer had used a 5-iron at the 231-yard 'Firethorn'. He ended the hole with a birdie, and as he and his longtime caddie, Rickie Elliott, were walking away, the caddie was caught on camera mouthing <em>"five"</em> to Gary Woodland's caddie.

As part of Rule 10-2a, neither players nor their caddies may advise any competitors playing at the table. And many deemed that Elliot had done exactly that. Brooks, too, stood by Elliot and denied any such occurrence of unfair conduct. Eventually, the Masters officials too deemed there to be <em>"no breach of the rules." </em>Many couldn't help but notice that Koepka is a controversy yet again!

Despite his controversy at the event, Koepka had a wonderful game. Ending the event on Sunday tied for second, he, of course, didn't get what he wanted but still played some spectacular golf. It was a huge comeback despite him not grabbing the Green Jacket, considering that in 2022 he had failed to even make the cut at Augusta. Surprisingly, the event that began with a storm for him ended with a blast!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
As mentioned earlier, Koepka is currently worth nearly $50 million. Along with his approximately $100 million contract with LIV Golf and on-the-course earnings, Koepka also has many lucrative sponsorships in his bag.

[caption id="attachment_677669" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-677669 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-19T220838Z_1050388749_MT1USATODAY16111256_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PGA-CHAMPIONSHIP-PRACTICE-ROUND-1.jpg" alt="Brooks Koepka" width="1920" height="1280" /> May 19, 2021; Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA; Brooks Koepka stands on the fifteenth green during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament at Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort.

From multi-year contracts with Srixon to partnerships with Michelob Ultra, Rolex, NetJets, and Nike, the golf pro makes tonsâ€”and certainly millionsâ€”while not playing golf too!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s career stats</strong></h2>
Koepka is undoubtedly one of the most skilled golfers in the world, and his stats prove just that. He holds several records, and ever since turning pro in 2012, he has amassed several wins.

With 17 professional victories, the golfer has won on five different tours, nine of which came on the PGA Tour, six on the European Tour, four on the Challenge Tour, two in Japan on the Japan Golf Tour, and three times on LIV Golf since his defection in 2022.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s records</strong></h2>
Brooks Koepkaâ€™s major victoriesâ€”the US Open in 2017, the 2018 US Open, the 2018 PGA Championship, the 2019 PGA Championship, and the 2023 PGA Championshipâ€”marked the highlight of his career.

[caption id="attachment_1094008" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1094008 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-06-14T145455Z_824742564_MT1USATODAY18534783_RTRMADP_3_PGA-U-S-OPEN-PRACTICE-ROUND-1.jpg" alt="Brooks Koepka joins LIV Golf" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jun 14, 2022; Brookline, Massachusetts, USA; Brooks Koepka addresses the media during a press conference for the U.S. Open golf tournament at The Country Club. Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Those wins also made him the first-ever golfer to win back-to-back majors at the same time by defending the US Open and the PGA Championship. At the other two majors too, Koepka has come quite close to victory, with a T4 finish at the 2019 Open Championship and a T2 finish at the Masters both in 2019 and 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s major achievements and awards</strong></h2>
The achievements of the American golf star stand testament to his splendid golf skills. In 2014, the golf pro won the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award, an award presented annually by the European Tour for the best newcomer in its ranks.

Three years later, he also won the PGA Tour Player of the Year award and, in that season, led the Tourâ€™s earnings leaderboard with $7,094,047. His streak of great performances continued during those years, and he won PGA Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019.

With his win at Oak Hill in 2023, Brooks Koepka became the first LIV golfer to win a major tournament. Notably, he was also the only LIV golfer to be part of the 2023 Ryder Cup. He was chosen as the captainâ€™s pick to be a part of the American squad.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s charity and foundation</strong></h2>
The $50 million man has gained a lot of wealth in recent times, and with that, he has realized his need to give back to the community as well. With that in mind, in 2019, the golf pro set up the Brooks Koepka Foundation, which is dedicated to helping <em>"children facing challenges with a focus on enhancing health and wellness, resources, and community betterment," </em>as per its website.

Established at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Brooks Koepka Foundation has done a lot in the past four years. From raising $450,000 for the Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas to serving lunch and fellowship to local South Florida hospitals and even funding over $200,000 for the COVID-19 response relief, Koepka has been constantly helping others through his foundation.

The golfer also introduced â€œ12 Days of Brooksmas,â€ wherein his foundation would give $1,200 to 12 different nonprofits, both locally and nationwide! The officially launched Brooks Koepka Foundation merchandise line offers 100% proceeds for its mission to help children with challenges.

Brooks Koepkaâ€™s major achievements and awards The achievements of the American golf star stand testament to his splendid golf skills. In 2014, the golf pro won the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award, an award presented annually by the European Tour for the best newcomer in its ranks. Three years later, he also won the PGA Tour Player of the Year award and, in that season, led the Tourâ€™s earnings leaderboard with $7,094,047. His streak of great performances continued during those years, and he won PGA Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019. With his win at Oak Hill in 2023, Brooks Koepka became the first LIV golfer to win a major tournament. Notably, he was also the only LIV golfer to be part of the 2023 Ryder Cup. He was chosen as the captainâ€™s pick to be a part of the American squad. Brooks Koepkaâ€™s charity and foundation The $50 million man has gained a lot of wealth in recent times, and with that, he has realized his need to give back to the community as well. With that in mind, in 2019, the golf pro set up the Brooks Koepka Foundation, which is dedicated to helping &#8220;children facing challenges with a focus on enhancing health and wellness, resources, and community betterment,&#8221; as per its website. Established at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Brooks Koepka Foundation has done a lot in the past four years. From raising $450,000 for the Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas to serving lunch and fellowship to local South Florida hospitals and even funding over $200,000 for the COVID-19 response relief, Koepka has been constantly helping others through his foundation. The golfer also introduced â€œ12 Days of Brooksmas,â€ wherein his foundation would give $1,200 to 12 different nonprofits, both locally and nationwide! The officially launched Brooks Koepka Foundation merchandise line offers 100% proceeds for its mission to help children with challenges.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Dustin Johnson?Â </b></h2>
Dustin Hunter Johnson, also known as DJ, is an American professional golfer who currently plays on LIV Golf. One of the most prominent golfers of current times, Johnson picked up the sport at a very young age. Among his many accomplishments are two major victories and appearances for the US national team. Let's dive in to learn about Johnson's family, career wins, earnings, and more!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Scott Johnson and Kandee Nee Whisnant. He was the eldest of three children and has two siblings, Austin and Laurie. His father was a professional golfer and ran a pro shop. Johnson's grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an All-ACC basketball player in South Carolina. As a result, the golfer was athletic from a very young age.

It is no surprise that his father introduced him to the game of golf at the tender age of six. He soon started showing his golfing talent and, in the seventh grade, became a member of the Irmo High School varsity team.

The golfer's swing is mostly self-learned. He had grown up witnessing the swings of other players at the Weed Hill Driving Range in Columbia. His father was a Club pro and would take him along to the range. Johnson's brother, Austin, is his longtime caddie and was on the bag during his 2020 Masters win.

The young Dustin's golfing career began to show promise as he set a record at the Coldstream Country Club in Irmo and Golden Hills Golf &amp; Country Club for shooting a pair of 64 on two consecutive days.

Johnson later transferred to Dutch Fork High School, and after graduating, he enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue sports management. But his eyes were set on something differentâ€”the PGA Tour. During his university days, Johnson trained under Allen Terrell, who guided the then-young talent toward achieving prestigious titles such as the Monroe Invitational, the Northeast Amateur and All-Big South honors at the Big South Conference Championship in his freshman year.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
The LIV Golfer met his now wife, Paulina Gretzky, daughter of the legendary NHL star Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones, in 2013. The two started dating just before the 2013 PGA Tour season and by August of that year, Johnson popped the question to Gretzky, and the couple got engaged.

Then, in 2015, they welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, on January 19. In the summer of 2017, the family of three became four with their second son, River Jones Johnson, on June 14th. The two finally decided to tie the knot on April 23, 2022. Paulina Gretzky never shied away from showing her love and support for her golf husband, she frequently posts about the couple on her Instagram and also took up the role of his caddie at the Master Par 3 contest in 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â </b></h2>
According to Forbes, Johnson has an estimated net worth of $107 million. The American has earned an estimated $102 million from prize winnings from tournaments and an additional $ million through endorsements. His $125 million move to LIV has also greatly boosted his earnings. The LIV golfer also made it to the 2023 edition of Forbes's The World's Highest-Paid Athletes and was given the sixth spot on the list.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Amateur CareerÂ </b></h2>
Dustin Johnson played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. His grandmother, Carole Jones, had called up the institute's coach, Allen Terrell, to explain how badly DJ wished to pursue golf.

As an amateur golfer, Johnson won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007. He was also part of the victorious Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Pro career</b></h2>
Dustin Johnson turned pro in 2007. He went on to earn his PGA Tour card by tying for 14th place at the 2007 qualifying school. In October of 2008, he won his first PGAT title at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in upstate New York.

Since his debut, Johnson has gone on to script several professional victories. He became No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time ever after winning the Genesis Open in February of 2017. With that win, he also became the only golfer besidesÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Tiger Woods</a>Â andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jack-nicklaus/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jack Nicklaus</a>Â to claim a title in each of their first seasons.

Before defecting to LIV, the golfer won 24 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major wins. He also claimed nine wins on the DP World Tour. Johnson is the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championship events. He has won it six times, and only Tiger Woods has more wins than him.

After joining the Saudi-backed league, Johnson brought home his first LIV silverware at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational in Boston, and he went on to become the season-long Individual Champion of that year. The following year, he added another title to his winning list after defeating Cameron Smith at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa. His latest win came on the Vegas greens, as the 4Aces skipper <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-dustin-johnson-redemption-arc-complete-with-liv-golf-las-vegas-win-brooks-koepka-s-smash-gc-steals-team-title/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won the title of Individual Champion at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas</a> after carding a total of 12 under 198 at Las Vegas Country Club.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Since joining LIV Golf, DJ has seen exponential growth in his net worth, mostly due to his on-field earnings but his off-field earnings, which included various partnerships and brand endorsements, have been a major contributor as well. Many big brands, including BodyArmor, Hublot, NetJets, Perfect Practice, and TaylorMade have signed Johnson. The Royal Bank of Canada also sponsors the 39-year-old golfer. In February of 2023, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-better-for-us-to-part-ways-liv-golf-defector-dustin-johnson-finally-spills-beans-on-his-separation-with-longtime-sponsor-adidas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnson and Adidas mutually ended their long-term partnership.</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Move to LIV Golf</b></h2>
In May 2022, it was announced that Johnson would be competing at the LIV Golf Invitational Series from June 9â€“11. Days later, he resigned from the PGA Tour and<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-why-liv-golf-wont-be-paying-dustin-johnson-his-125m-upfront/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> joined LIV for a reported sum of $125 million.</a>

In the Saudi-backed LIV league, Johnson captains the 4Aces GC team. The golfer won his first individual LIV tournament in Boston on September 5, 2022. He got his second win at LIV Tulsa in May of 2023. DJ ended his eight-month-long winless streak with a win at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Career stats</b></h2>
The American golfer turned pro in 2007 and earned his PGA Tour in 2008. He has played in 311 PGA Tour events and secured 24 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 311 events in which Johnson participated, he made the cut for 254 of the events. DJ has also been the runner-up 16 times and has 9 third-place finishes. Looking at his top-five finishes, the number comes up to 70 and McIlroy has 116 top-10 finishes.

Johnson has made five appearances (2010, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020) at the Ryder as a part of Team USA.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Records</b></h2>
The American golfer has won two majors so far: the 2016 US Open and the 2020 Masters Tournament. The 2016 US Open at Oakmont Country Club was his first win in 29 major appearances. During that tournament, the golfer was rewarded with a one-shot penalty, which came under scrutiny from many players, including <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jordan Spieth</a>,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rory McIlroy</a>, andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rickie-fowler/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rickie Fowler</a>.

With his 72-hole scoring total of 268 at Augusta National, Johnson broke the Masters record of 270. Tiger Woods set the record in 1997 and Jordan Spieth tied it in 2015. His tally of four bogeys was also the fewest in tournament history.

Over his illustrious golf career, Johnson has been able to showcase his golfing prowess all around the world and has won at least one worldwide event each year during the span of 2008â€“13 and 2015â€“2021.

Upon joining the breakaway league in 2022, Johnson also became the only player to score points in all seven regular-season LIV Golf events that year. The two-time major champion also became the fifth American in the history of the Ryder Cup to win all five matches in a single Ryder Cup.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dustin Johnsonâ€™s National team appearances</strong></h2>

DJ ended his eight-month-long winless streak with a win at 2024 LIV Golf Las Vegas. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Career stats The American golfer turned pro in 2007 and earned his PGA Tour in 2008. He has played in 311 PGA Tour events and secured 24 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 311 events in which Johnson participated, he made the cut for 254 of the events. DJ has also been the runner-up 16 times and has 9 third-place finishes. Looking at his top-five finishes, the number comes up to 70 and McIlroy has 116 top-10 finishes. Johnson has made five appearances (2010, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020) at the Ryder as a part of Team USA. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s Records The American golfer has won two majors so far: the 2016 US Open and the 2020 Masters Tournament. The 2016 US Open at Oakmont Country Club was his first win in 29 major appearances. During that tournament, the golfer was rewarded with a one-shot penalty, which came under scrutiny from many players, including Jordan Spieth,Â Rory McIlroy, andÂ Rickie Fowler. With his 72-hole scoring total of 268 at Augusta National, Johnson broke the Masters record of 270. Tiger Woods set the record in 1997 and Jordan Spieth tied it in 2015. His tally of four bogeys was also the fewest in tournament history. DJ has been ranked as the world no. 1 on the OWGR for 64 consecutive weeks and the number 1 spot was held by him for more than 130 weeks. Over his illustrious golf career, Johnson has been able to showcase his golfing prowess all around the world and has won at least one worldwide event each year during the span of 2008â€“13 and 2015â€“2021. Upon joining the breakaway league in 2022, Johnson also became the only player to score points in all seven regular-season LIV Golf events that year. The two-time major champion also became the fifth American in the history of the Ryder Cup to win all five matches in a single Ryder Cup. Dustin Johnsonâ€™s National team appearances Johnson was part of the USA&#8217;s Ryder Cup team five times in his career, including the victorious squads of 2016 and 2021. In 2021, Team USA beat defending champion Europe by 19-0 at Whistling Straits, with Johnson going 5-0-0. He further won the inaugural Nicklaus-Jacklin Award for his contribution. Johnson was also part of the victorious Presidents Cup teams of 2011, 2015, 2017, and 2019.

The foundation is set to host the 2021 edition of the DJ World Junior Golf Championship, where all funds raised will go towards providing scholarships and equipment to youth in need. Johnson had also competed in multiple charity golf exhibition games, with the most recent one being in May 2020, when he joined forces with a fellow pro, Rory McIlroy, to raise funds for coronavirus relief.

<h2><strong>Jon Rahm 2023: Net worth, salary and endorsements</strong></h2>
Jon Rahm Rodriguez, popularly known as Jon Rahm, is a Spanish professional golfer. Despite being a lifelong fan of soccer, Rahm's father pushed him toward golf. This led to him beginning to pursue the sport at a very young age.

Rahm later came to the United States and joined Arizona State University. His golf career took off during his time at ASU, and he won multiple championships. Let's dive in to learn more about the many victories and accomplishments of Jon Rahm!
<h2>Early Life and family</h2>
Jon Rahm was born on 10 November 1994 in Barrica, Biscay. The golfer credits the 1997 Ryder Cup in Valderrama as the inspiration behind his career in golf. Rahm's parents fell in love with the sport and encouraged young Jon also to take up the sport. That year, Spanish legend Seve Ballesteros captained Team Europe. He eventually began to play the game when he was 6 or 7 years of age. Growing up, he indulged in a variety of other sports, including soccer, jai alai, Kung Fu, and canoeing. He was a big fan of martial arts as a child.

Rahm's local coach, Eduardo Celles, had first worked with the golfer when he was just 13. Celles had advised a young Rahm to shorten his swing. To this date, the golfer boasts one of the shortest backswings on Tour. The golfer was also born with clubfoot, and doctors had to break his ankle to fix the issue. This led to his right leg being shorter later in life.

[caption id="attachment_591235" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-591235 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210323234526/GettyImages-1228278251-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" /> OLYMPIA FIELDS, IL - AUGUST 30 : Jon Rahm of Spain poses with his wife, Kelley Cahill, both holding the trophy after the final round of the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club (North) on August 30, 2020 in Olympia Fields, IL. (Photo by Tracy Wilcox/PGA TOUR via Getty Images)[/caption]

Rahm met his wife, Kelley Cahill, a former javelin thrower, at the Arizona State University. Following their marriage, they welcomed sons Kepa Cahill Rahm and Eneko Cahill Rahm in 2021 and 2022.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Before joining Arizona State University in 2012, Jon Rahm spoke very little English and had never been to the USA before. It was Phil Mickelson's brother, Tim, the Sun Devil's golf coach at the time, who recruited the Spaniard when he had very few offers. Rahm has credited Tim Mickelson for helping him learn English.

The golfer has admitted that lyrics to rap songs enabled him to learn slang and English phrases not taught in class. He has cited Kendrick Lamar's "<em>Swimming Pools</em>" and Eminem’s “<em>Love the Way You Lie</em>" that helped him out.

Rahm held the #1 ranking in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for a record 60 weeks. He earned that through the success he found at ASU, where he won 11 college golf tournaments. With 16, only Phil Mickelson has won more tournaments in school history. With wins in 2015 and 2016, Rahm became the first player to be awarded the Ben Hogan Award twice.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
After appearing in the 2016 US Open, where he won the Low Amateur title for his T23 finish, Rahm became a professional. His first professional win came at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open, following which he scripted several impressive performances.

After he won the Open de España in October 2019, he became the fastest Spanish player in history to five European titles, beating his heroes Sergio Garcia and Seve Ballesteros. The golfer also became World No. 1 for the first time ever on 19 July 2020 after winning the Memorial Tournament. He also became the second Spaniard since Ballesteros to achieve this feat.

During the 2020-21 PGA Tour season, Rahm won the PGA Player of the Year Award, given by the PGA of America. He further claimed the Vardon Trophy as well as the Byron Nelson Award for lowest scoring average.
<h2>Achievements in major events</h2>
In June of 2021, Jon Rahm claimed the first-ever major of his career at Torrey Pines. The Spaniard birdied his final two holes to claim the coveted US Open title. He then dedicated the win to none other than Seve Ballesteros.

[caption id="attachment_682111" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-682111 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-06-21T011228Z_1029609846_MT1USATODAY16286965_RTRMADP_3_PGA-U-S-OPEN-FINAL-ROUND.jpg" alt="Jon Rahm" width="1920" height="1228" /> Jun 20, 2021; San Diego, California, USA; Jon Rahm celebrates and kisses the trophy after winning he U.S. Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf Course.

In 2023, he won his second major at the Augusta National at the age of 28. In doing so, he became the first European to win both the US Open and the Masters.
<h2>National team appearances</h2>
In 2018, Jon Rahm was able to book a place in the European team for the Ryder Cup by qualifying. That year, Team Europe beat Team USA 17.5 to 10.5 at the Le Golf National Club near Paris, France.

[caption id="attachment_780089" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-780089 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-25T214511Z_1470497569_UP1EH9P1OF9E0_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-RYDERCUP.jpg" alt="Jon Rahm" width="1920" height="1192" /> Golf - The 2020 Ryder Cup - Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. - September 25, 2021 Team Europe's Jon Rahm plays out from the bunker on the 12th hole during the Four-balls REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst[/caption]

In 2021, he once again made an appearance for Team Europe in Whistling Straits. That year, Team USA emerged as the winner after beating their opponent 19-9. Rahm went 3-1-1, which included a loss against Scottie Scheffler.
<h2>Net Worth and Endorsements</h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jon Rahm has an estimated net worth of $25 million. After his $3.24 million win at Augusta National in April of 2023, Rahm's career earnings stood at near about $48 million.

A wide array of brand endorsements further supplements the Spaniard's golf income. In the past, he had signed with Callaway Golf Company. However, later in 2021, he entered a new deal with TaylorMade Golf. Rahm has also been tied with brands like Blue Yonder, Rolex, Mercedes Benz, Vista Jet, Silverleaf Club, and more.

<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Family</strong></h2>
Jordan was born to Chris and Shawn Spieth. His mother is a computer engineer who played college basketball, while his father is the founder of MVPindex, a media analytics company.

Spieth has two siblings. His brother, Steven, is a professional basketball player who last played in Spain. His sister, Ellie, is a <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">special needs human, </span></span>and was the inspiration behind Spieth’s charity foundation.

The couple had a baby boy together, whom they welcomed in 2021. They named their little one Sammy Spieth.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Records</strong></h2>
Spieth won the 2009 and 2011 US Junior Amateur tournaments, becoming only the second player after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/">Tiger Woods</a> to achieve this feat. In 2010, 16-year-old Spieth became the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.

Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He became the youngest player to win the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 after winning at just 21 years old in 2015. In the same year, Spieth won his maiden Major at the Masters and also tied Tiger Woods’ 270 total from 1997. After the win, he became the second-youngest man in PGA Tour history to win a Green Jacket after Tiger Woods.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: 2023 Net Worth</strong></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Spieth is worth around $120 million. The American has earned around $55 million from prize winnings from tournaments, placing him in the top 20 highest-earning PGA golfers of all time.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Endorsements</strong></h2>
Ever since his debut in 2013, the golfer has been actively engaged in high-paying endorsements that have helped him rake in his bank balance. He is the face of Under Armour at the young age of 19. His meteoric rise prompted them to hand Spieth a 10-year deal in 2015. He also appeared in multiple commercials for them.

AT&amp;T is another brand that roped him in early. They brought Spieth on board in 2014, just a year after he won the Rookie of the Year. He is also associated with other top-tier brands like Rolex, Titleist, Coca-Cola, Superstroke, Wheaties, and NetJets.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Foundation and Charity</strong></h2>
Inspired by his sister Ellie, who is a specially-abled human being, Spieth established the <a href="http://www.jordanspiethgolf.com/article/about-the-jordan-spieth-family-foundation">Jordan Spieth Family Foundation</a> in 2014. The foundation supports four main causes: Special needs children, Military families, Junior golf, and Pediatric cancer.

The founding stone of the golfer’s charity has been very thoughtful and cause-oriented. He supports special needs children because his sister inspired him to do so, junior gold because it helped Spieth's transition into a professional golfer on the Tour, and pediatric cancer because Spieth lost a friend to the disease.

Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports He became the youngest player to win the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 after winning at just 21 years old in 2015. In the same year, Spieth won his maiden Major at the Masters and also tied Tiger Woods’ 270 total from 1997. After the win, he became the second-youngest man in PGA Tour history to win a Green Jacket after Tiger Woods. Jordan Spieth: 2023 Net Worth According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Spieth is worth around $120 million. The American has earned around $55 million from prize winnings from tournaments, placing him in the top 20 highest-earning PGA golfers of all time. Jordan Spieth: Endorsements Ever since his debut in 2013, the golfer has been actively engaged in high-paying endorsements that have helped him rake in his bank balance. He is the face of Under Armour at the young age of 19. His meteoric rise prompted them to hand Spieth a 10-year deal in 2015. He also appeared in multiple commercials for them. AT&amp;T is another brand that roped him in early. They brought Spieth on board in 2014, just a year after he won the Rookie of the Year. He is also associated with other top-tier brands like Rolex, Titleist, Coca-Cola, Superstroke, Wheaties, and NetJets. Jordan Spieth: Foundation and Charity Inspired by his sister Ellie, who is a specially-abled human being, Spieth established the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation in 2014.

Justin Louis Thomas is an American professional golfer. He says that watchingÂ Tiger WoodsÂ win at Valhalla at age seven motivated him to become a pro. Thomas went to college at the University of Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide win an NCAA championship. His success also brought him the Haskins Award as a freshman. He turned pro after his sophomore season.

Thomas was once ranked #1 on the OWGR leaderboard. His current caddie is Jim Mackay. Who stepped in after his 6-year partnership ended with Jimmy Johnson. Mackay is one of the most experienced caddies in the golf fraternity and has worked for over 25 years with PhilÂ <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/phil-mickelson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mickelson</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
Justin Thomas was born on April 29th, 1993, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Mike Thomas and Jani Thomas. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Thomas was born into a golfing family.

Justin was introduced to the sport at a very young age, as he started visiting his father at the golf courses during his practice sessions along with his mother. The toddler soon started showing interest in golf and according to his father, he wanted to try to make some swings when he was merely 18 months old. As young Justin turned two, he started spending more time on the golf courses and started hitting balls and playing a few holes.

During his teenage years, Justin started playing competitive golf and also showcased immense promise, as a then-16-year-old Thomas secured the third position at the Wyndham Championship, which made him the third youngest golfer to make the cut in PGA Tour history.

Phil Mickelson, with his incredible club skills and his long list of achievements, has won over the hearts of many in his 30+ years as a professional golfer. In the era of Tiger Woods, Phil managed to make a name for himself and be known as one of the greatest golfers of all time. This was, of course, no ordinary feat! Although he spent the majority of his career in Woodsâ€™s shadow, Phil came to be known as the 15-time major winnerâ€™s rival and his biggest one! To date, he has continued to stun the golf world with his skill, despite his age, making him one of the players the golf world eagerly looks forward to watching on the course! Let's explore all that the golf legend has accomplished in his career and the path he is now on.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Phil Mickelson's net worth 2024</b></h2>
Since he first picked up a club over five decades ago, Mickelson has certainly come a long way. Not only has he cemented his name in the golf world, but he has also created a massive empire out of his career! with numerous endorsement deals under his belt. The golf pro is currently worth approximately $400 million, a lot of which he owes to his latest partnership with LIV Golf.

In the summer of 2022, Lefty was one of the many PGA Tour stars who jumped ship and headed over to the Saudi-backed league. His stature and hold over the golf world earned him a whopping <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-despite-signing-a-massive-200m-liv-golf-contract-phil-mickelson-billionaire-dreams-wont-be-fulfilled-anytime-soon-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$200 million contract from the new league</a> where the golf pro now competes. With this switch in leagues, Phil also saw one of the biggest controversies of his lifetime! He faced backlash from fans, the public, and especially the PGA Tour, which banned him and the other stars who left from all Tour events indefinitely.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Phil Mickelson's early life</h2>
Born in 1970, the golf pro was named Philip Alfred Mickelson. In the golf world, of course, he is better known as Lefty! He first began playing the sport when he was just a toddler, at 18 months old, by mirroring his fatherâ€™s swing. This led to him playing like a left-handed player despite being right-handed naturally, earning him his nickname as he got older.

[caption id="attachment_1080915" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1080915 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-06-10T161235Z_280170181_UP1EI6A190XDO_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-LIV.jpg" alt="Phil Mickelson at LIV Golf event in London" width="1920" height="1201" /> Golf â€“ The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational â€“ Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain â€“ June 10, 2022 Team Hy Flyerâ€™s Phil Mickelson of the U.S. during the second round REUTERS/Paul Childs[/caption]

The young Lefty began establishing his name in the world of golf during his days as an amateur golfer. Mickelson went on to win several tournaments, including the National Junior Player of the Year award, for three consecutive years, from 1986 to 1988. Mickelson also bagged a complete scholarship at Arizona State University (ASU) via his tremendous overall performance on the golf course. Phil went on to become the fourth amateur to win a PGA Tour title when he won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelsonâ€™s 2024 sources of income</strong></h2>
The $400 million man has undoubtedly seen massive earnings throughout his career. While his LIV contract is probably his biggest payday ever, itâ€™s not his only one. In his 30+ years of playing on the PGA Tour, including his major championship winnings, he has earned $96,572,310.

In 2023, the golf pro made $2,855,250 after playing in 14 events. His total career earnings over the years are currently upward of a billion dollars, thanks to all these earnings! As of 2023, Mickelson was ranked the 7th highest-earning athlete in the year, but besides the course, Lefty makes a lot of money off it too.

<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-liv-golf-phil-mickelson-severes-ties-with-callaway-partnership-after-twenty-long-years-second-legendary-exit-following-tiger-woods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In 2024, Mickelson parted ways with Callaway and ended a 20-year partnership.</a> The <em>Lefty</em> has multiple endorsement deals, through which he earns millions every year. Some of these companies include Coffee of Wellness, Amgen, Intrepid Financial Partners, Titleist, and Grayhawk. Moreover, he even owns a golf club, the Phil Mickelson Golf Club, which is flourishing.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's family and personal life</strong></h2>
Off the course, Mickelson has a different persona altogether. Heâ€™s a family man! His Twitter bio too shows that he prioritizes his family before all else, as it states, â€œ<em>Husband.</em>Â <em>Lefty. LIV. Golfer.â€</em>Â Itâ€™s safe to say that his wife, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-who-is-phil-mickelsons-wife-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-power-couples-twenty-six-years-old-marriage-amy-mickelson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Mickelson</a>, will always be the golferâ€™s first choice. Phil and Amy met back in 1992 while both were studying at Arizona State University. She was a cheerleader for the NBAâ€™s Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad.

It wasnâ€™t long before they got together, and four years later, on November 16, 1996, the couple tied the knot. Nearly 3 years after their wedding, the Mickelsons increased their family numbers. Amy gave birth to their first daughter, Amanda Brynn Mickelson, in June 1999. Just two years later, the couple had another daughter, Sophia Isabel Mickelson, who was born in October 2001. But their family got even bigger in the years that followed! And in March 2003, their third child and only son, Evan Samuel Mickelson, was born.

The Mickelson family always came first. He even skipped out on possible career-changing golf events, prioritizing his wife and children. Heâ€™ll undoubtedly credit his parents, Philip and Mary Mickelson, for this beautiful upbringing. Lefty also has two siblings: Tim, his brother, who now serves as his caddy and is on the course with him for almost every event, and a sister, Tina.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's records</strong></h2>
It would be an understatement to say that Mickelson had a great golf career. It was enormous! Throughout his 30+ years of professional golf, the pro has amassed 57 professional wins. The majority of these came on the PGA Tour, where he spent 30 years playing. He won 45 events on the Tour, of which six were <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-how-old-was-phil-mickelson-when-he-won-his-first-major-championship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major championships; his first came in 2004</a>, and his last to date, 17 years after that, came in 2021.

He has won the prestigious Masters Tournament three times, and just this year he tied for second, narrowly missing his fourth victory at Augusta. He has also won the PGA Championship twice and the Open Championship once in his career. Currently, he needs just a US Open win to complete his much-anticipated career grand slam. But only time will tell if thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s possible for the golf legend.

Besides the majors and on the PGA Tour, heâ€™s also won five times on the European Tour, once on the Challenge Tour, four times on the PGA Tour Champions (senior circuit), and four other events during his professional career.

Thanks to his skill, Mickelson, of course, holds several records, but his biggest is one that he achieved in<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-how-many-major-championships-has-phil-mickelson-won/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2021 with his sixthÂ major win</a>. At 50 years, 11 months, and 7 days, he became the oldest player to ever win a major that year. A record that may just stand the test of time!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson controversy</strong></h2>
Unlike many other golfers, Mickelson didnâ€™t see a great number of controversies during his career. But his biggest came last year when he jumped ship and joined the new Saudi-backed league. Considering his huge reputation and the name that he had made for himself on the PGA Tour, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-phil-mickelson-opens-up-on-recent-struggles-after-joining-liv-golf-harder-than-i-thought/?utm_source=website%2F&amp;utm_medium=dive_deeper&amp;utm_campaign=internal_links" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many saw this as a betrayal</a> and as him turning his back on the Tour. Furthermore, for his choice, he also suffered the grave consequences of the indefinite PGA Tour ban and also lost many sponsors in the process.

Another big controversy that Mickelson has dealt with in his career is his gambling. The pro suffered from a grave addiction to gambling and was also infamously known for placing large bets with his fellow golfers during practice rounds on the course. Between 2010 and 2014 alone, he incurred nearly a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-phil-mickelson-who-has-a-300m-net-worth-once-lost-half-his-pga-tour-earnings-due-to-a-severe-gambling-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$40 million debt thanks to his gambling problem</a>. In 2021, he revealed that he was aware that it had become a problem that was affecting him and his family and that he had taken steps in the right direction.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's foundation and charity</strong></h2>
With the amount of money heâ€™s made in his lifetime, Mickelson also knows the importance of giving back to the community. Hence, in 2004, he and his wife, Amy, since family is their priority, set up the Phil and Amy Mickelson Foundation, which focuses on <em>â€œsupporting a variety of youth and family initiatives,â€Â </em>as per its website.

That same year, he partnered up with the PGA Tour to create a national military outreach platform, Birdies for the Brave,â€™ which still exists to date. The program has raised both awareness and funds for military members, veterans, and their families, helping them with rehabilitation housing, counseling, and even education and career development. Furthermore, in 2021, the Mickelson Foundation will have donated $1 million across 14 charities in the Coachella Valley.

Through his golf, too, Mickelson has been doing his bit for the community. He has participated in many exhibition events for charity to create awareness and raise funds for various purposes.

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, with his incredible club skills and his long list of achievements, has won over the hearts of many in his 30+ years as a professional golfer. In the era of Tiger Woods, Phil managed to make a name for himself and be known as one of the greatest golfers of all time. This was, of course, no ordinary feat! Although he spent the majority of his career in Woodsâ€™s shadow, Phil came to be known as the 15-time major winnerâ€™s rival and his biggest one! To date, he has continued to stun the golf world with his skill, despite his age, making him one of the players the golf world eagerly looks forward to watching on the course! Let&#8217;s explore all that the golf legend has accomplished in his career and the path he is now on. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s net worth 2024 Since he first picked up a club over five decades ago, Mickelson has certainly come a long way. Not only has he cemented his name in the golf world, but he has also created a massive empire out of his career! with numerous endorsement deals under his belt. The golf pro is currently worth approximately $400 million, a lot of which he owes to his latest partnership with LIV Golf. In the summer of 2022, Lefty was one of the many PGA Tour stars who jumped ship and headed over to the Saudi-backed league. His stature and hold over the golf world earned him a whopping $200 million contract from the new league where the golf pro now competes. With this switch in leagues, Phil also saw one of the biggest controversies of his lifetime! He faced backlash from fans, the public, and especially the PGA Tour, which banned him and the other stars who left from all Tour events indefinitely. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s early life Born in 1970, the golf pro was named Philip Alfred Mickelson. In the golf world, of course, he is better known as Lefty! He first began playing the sport when he was just a toddler, at 18 months old, by mirroring his fatherâ€™s swing. This led to him playing like a left-handed player despite being right-handed naturally, earning him his nickname as he got older. Golf â€“ The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational â€“ Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain â€“ June 10, 2022 Team Hy Flyerâ€™s Phil Mickelson of the U.S. during the second round REUTERS/Paul Childs The young Lefty began establishing his name in the world of golf during his days as an amateur golfer. Mickelson went on to win several tournaments, including the National Junior Player of the Year award, for three consecutive years, from 1986 to 1988. Mickelson also bagged a complete scholarship at Arizona State University (ASU) via his tremendous overall performance on the golf course. Phil went on to become the fourth amateur to win a PGA Tour title when he won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991 Phil Mickelsonâ€™s 2024 sources of income The $400 million man has undoubtedly seen massive earnings throughout his career. While his LIV contract is probably his biggest payday ever, itâ€™s not his only one. In his 30+ years of playing on the PGA Tour, including his major championship winnings, he has earned $96,572,310. In 2023, the golf pro made $2,855,250 after playing in 14 events. His total career earnings over the years are currently upward of a billion dollars, thanks to all these earnings! As of 2023, Mickelson was ranked the 7th highest-earning athlete in the year, but besides the course, Lefty makes a lot of money off it too. In 2024, Mickelson parted ways with Callaway and ended a 20-year partnership. The Lefty has multiple endorsement deals, through which he earns millions every year. Some of these companies include Coffee of Wellness, Amgen, Intrepid Financial Partners, Titleist, and Grayhawk. Moreover, he even owns a golf club, the Phil Mickelson Golf Club, which is flourishing. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s family and personal life Off the course, Mickelson has a different persona altogether. Heâ€™s a family man! His Twitter bio too shows that he prioritizes his family before all else, as it states, â€œHusband.Â Lefty. LIV. Golfer.â€Â Itâ€™s safe to say that his wife, Amy Mickelson, will always be the golferâ€™s first choice. Phil and Amy met back in 1992 while both were studying at Arizona State University. She was a cheerleader for the NBAâ€™s Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad. It wasnâ€™t long before they got together, and four years later, on November 16, 1996, the couple tied the knot. Nearly 3 years after their wedding, the Mickelsons increased their family numbers. Amy gave birth to their first daughter, Amanda Brynn Mickelson, in June 1999. Just two years later, the couple had another daughter, Sophia Isabel Mickelson, who was born in October 2001. But their family got even bigger in the years that followed! And in March 2003, their third child and only son, Evan Samuel Mickelson, was born. The Mickelson family always came first. He even skipped out on possible career-changing golf events, prioritizing his wife and children. Heâ€™ll undoubtedly credit his parents, Philip and Mary Mickelson, for this beautiful upbringing. Lefty also has two siblings: Tim, his brother, who now serves as his caddy and is on the course with him for almost every event, and a sister, Tina. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s records It would be an understatement to say that Mickelson had a great golf career. It was enormous!

Scottie Scheffler is a two-time major champion who plays on the PGA Tour. Born in New Jersey, and raised in Texas, Schefflerâ€™s early interest in golf started at age 3. Although his father introduced him to multiple sports, the 27-year-old stuck with golf. Earning his way through the Korn Ferry Tour, Scottie Scheffler rose to the World No. 1 spot quite early in his career. Here is everything you need to know about the Texas star who has maintained unparalleled dominance in recent years.
<h2><b>Early life of Scottie Scheffler</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler was born in New Jersey in 1996. However, he spent a part of his early childhood days in New Jersey. However, when his mother got a job there, they moved to Dallas. The 27-year-old is a member of the Royal Oaks Country Club, where his father enlisted him on borrowed money.

At the age of six, he started working with his swing coach, Randy Smith. Smith is still the instructor Scheffler trusts. Young Scheffler, however, played many sports growing up, including basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and football. However, he chose golf as a career, and that has been his dream since early childhood. His dream, however, started courtesy of a plastic golf club he was presented with by his parents.
<h2><b>Schefflerâ€™s professional wins</b></h2>
Scheffler has ten wins so far on the Tour. His maiden victory came at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, when he defeated Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. He topped that with three more, including the Masters that year. The current world no. 1 golfer has made 102 cuts in the 121 tournaments he has played on the Tour.

A highly decorated college career raised the expectations of the Dallas native. Scheffler, however, exceeded those expectations, showcasing dominance reminiscent of Tiger Woods. In April 2024, Scottie Scheffler became the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win four tournaments in five starts.

Scheffler is also in the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy league in terms of amassing ten PGA Tout titles. Woods took 76, and McIlroy took 92 events to reach that career milestone. Scheffler took 119. â€œ<i>In high school, I narrowed it down to just basketball and golf. My whole life, I knew how much I loved golf. It was the one sport I always wanted to be playing, regardless of the season,</i>â€ Scheffler said in 2018 to Golf Digest.
<h2><b>Scottie Scheffler: Net worthÂ </b></h2>
Per Forbes, Scheffler was already sitting on $47.1 million in 2023. His current net worth is north of $80M, especially after victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational ($4M), THE PLAYERS Championship ($4.5M), the Masters ($3.6M), and the RBC Heritage ($4M). He has already amassed $18,693,235 from ten events played in 2024. The two-time Major champion is eighth on the all-time money list, with $61,258,464 in career earnings from the Tour.

In 2023, Scheffler set the record for earning the most money in a calendar year. The Texas star earned $21,014,342, and it appears he will soon surpass this record. Scheffler is also a Nike athlete. Aside from that, he has ties with NetJets, Rolex, TaylorMade, Titleist, and Vertex Community Bank. Scheffler is represented by Blake Smith of Hambric Sports.
<h2>Schefflers were a family of six</h2>
Schefflerâ€™s parents are Scott and Diane Scheffler. Diane used to work as a COO at a law firm, where she supported the family financially. Scheffler has three sisters, Callie, Molly, and Sara. Callie was looping for Scheffler when he made his PGA Tour debut. She has also looped for her brother countless times before, mostly in USGA tournaments.

Scottie Scheffler married his high school sweetheart, Meredith Scudder, in 2020. Scudder has accompanied his husband on many occasions. Most famously in 2022, when Scheffler earned his first green jacket and the maiden major tournament. They're expecting their firstborn in May 2024.

The 10-time PGA Tour winner famously said that he would leave Augusta National if his wife went into labor. Two years earlier, Scheffler revealed Meredith calmed him down as he was â€˜crying like a babyâ€™ before the final round of the Masters.
<h2><b>Religion plays a big role in Schefflerâ€™s life</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler is a devout Christian. â€œ<i>The reason why I play golf is Iâ€™m trying to glorify God and all that Heâ€™s done in my life,</i>â€ the PGA Tour Pro said last year from Augusta. The 10-time PGA Tour winner is part of a Bible study group. And, thatâ€™s where he met his caddie, Ted Scott. â€œ<i>I really want to work with a Christian. Thatâ€™s how I try to live my life,</i>â€ Scheffler told Scott while asking the veteran to loop for him.

At this yearâ€™s Masters, Scheffler reiterated his faith in God. â€œ<i>My buddies told me this morning my victory was secure on the cross. And thatâ€™s a pretty special feeling to know that Iâ€™m secure for forever, and it doesnâ€™t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure forever.</i>â€
<h2><b>Scheffler is active in various charity organizations</b></h2>
Schefflerâ€™s friend James Ragan and his brother, Mecklin, started a philanthropic foundation, Triumph Over Kids Cancer. James, however, died of bone cancer just months before the Highland Park sophomore made his PGA Tour debut. A few years later, the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year donated a portion of the $300,000 he pocketed as the winner of the RSM Birdies Fore Love.

He also donated $50,000 to the Northern Texas PGA (NTPGA) Foundation for developmental programs for junior golfers. In 2020, Scheffler also donated $20,000 to West Dallas Community School, $20,000 to Advocates for Community Transformation, $20,000 to Human Impact, and $20,000 to Behind Every Door Ministries. The couple, too, is part of a charity organization, The Scudder Association Foundation.

For Scheffler, Christianity is a guiding principle in his life. Golf is secondary; itâ€™s his job. But family and faith matter more for the pro who canâ€™t stop winning.
