Marc Leishman, a former PGA Tour professional from Australia, chose to join LIV Golf in 2022. The golfer who looks up to Greg Norman and Ernie Els got the call from Norman for the offer to join LIV, and for him, it was an easy decision to choose. He shared, “We put all the positives and negatives down, and the positives far outweighed the negatives, and it turned out to be a pretty easy decision.” However, despite him saying it was an easy decision, the career-winning spree came to a halt after he switched to the Saudi-backed league. The 41-year-old professional was on a winning spree, as he had bagged 13 professional victories, including 6 at the PGA Tour, by 2022, but after switching LIV, the count was the same until 2025.

That changed recently when Strapper bagged his first LIV title at the Maimi event and added $6.5 million to his purse. However, despite the long halt, his net worth was still on the rise as the golfer continued to stay near the winner circle. He recorded four top-5 finishes in LIV Golf, maintaining a competitive presence. Notably, the Australian professional also has seven runner-ups at the PGA Tour, 10 third-placed finishes, and 37 top-5 finishes, contributing massively to his earnings apart from the wins.

The Aussie turned professional in 2005 and since then has won 6 PGA Tour titles, which contribute majorly to his whopping $35 million earnings in PGA Tour. Starting from 2009, the golfer crossed the million mark as he earned a $1,742,243 official payout that year. Following this, he has stayed above the million dollars yearly, excluding 2011 and 2015. His total earnings at the PGA Tour included $31,548,570 official earnings, $976,500 unofficial earnings, a Tour Championship bonus of $855,500, and Majors winnings of approximately $6 million.

Even with his switch, the graph has gone up in earning. With his first year at the league, he earned individual payouts of $905,500, team payouts of $2 million, team champions bonus $2 million, and cash of $4.9 million. Fast forward to 2025, the golfer before his Miami appearance has a total of $13.5 million in individual payout while $22.8 million in cash.

According to Surprise Sports reports, his increasing earnings have helped him achieve a net worth of $12 million as of February 2025. But apart from his career earnings, a small portion of his net worth comes from Leishman’s partnership and brand endorsement.

Marc Leishman’s partnership and brand endorsements

Marc Leishman’s consistent performance and strong presence on the global golfing stage have made him an attractive figure for brand collaborations. In 2021, he partnered with Pegasystems Inc., a software company. The company also partnered with Mel Reid to launch the Brand Ambassador program in 2021.

Additionally, Marc Leishman has partnered with Back Bay Brewing Co., Callaway Golf, and Nexbelt. Even recently, his team Ripper GC in LIV Golf has partnered with AG1, a leading global nutrition company, which adds to his portfolio.

Following his milestone victory at the LIV Golf Miami event and the $6.5 million purse it brought in, Leishman’s visibility and marketability are set to rise even further. With momentum building, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more high-profile brands seeking to align with the seasoned Aussie pro.
