The amount of money earned can be used to measure many things. However, it can never measure one’s talent. This is more the case for someone like Justin Thomas, who has turned many heads in his decade-long career. But even so, one gets ample curiosity when looking at someone successful like the PGA Tour pro.

A triumphant career does lead a golfer like Thomas to earn a lot of money through his many wins. However, his earnings would not be limited to just that since the pro would indubitably have had a lot of deals coming his way. And thus, the question remains: how much could he have earned through the many partners that came his way?

A popular golfer on the PGA Tour, Thomas’s skills have propelled him to the top of the game with many accolades. However, a bumpy season without a single win led him to amass only $3,566,403 in 2023. Nevertheless, this would not have affected the money he earned in the year from the various endorsements.

As per sources, the professional has earned a total of $82 million over his career. However, $54,481,804 of the same comes from the various wins on the PGA Tour, while the rest the 2X major champ has earned through the many lucrative deals in his career with several major establishments.

JT’s on-course display has attracted a lot of companies to sign endorsement deals with him, including the likes of Titleist, Citigroup, Troon, Lineage Logistics, NetJet, Footjoy, WHOOP, and Beats Electronics, along with Greyson Clothiers in 2022. Moreover, these highly profitable deals have helped him earn around $20 million in endorsements each year.
