Phil Mickelson vs. John Daly 2023 Net Worth comparison: Who is the Richest Bad Boy of Golf?

On the golf greens, two prominent rival figures stand out as the “bad boys” of the sport: Phil Mickelson and John Daly. Despite his move to LIV golf last year, Mickelson is still relevant in the game. The same is the case for Daly who continues to attract attention despite being way past his prime. Surprisingly, despite their rivalry on the course, they share a camaraderie off the golf course.

As these bad boys continue to thrive in the golf world, let’s compare their net worth and determine who holds the title of the richest bad boy in golf.

What is the net worth of Phil Mickelson?

The “Lefty” Phil Mickelson began playing golf at a young age, taking after his father’s swing when he was just 18 months old. Despite his natural right-handedness, he adopted a left-handed playing style, which earned him his famous nickname.

Mickelson’s career trajectory has been quite impressive. He has made a name for himself in the golfing world and has also made a big empire after his jaw-dropping $200 million partnership with LIV Golf. As of 2023, his estimated net worth is a staggering $875 million.

Mickelson made $96,539,060 from his PGA Tour tournaments. He further earned $2,269,350 from 11 events since joining LIV Golf. The 53-year-old was the highest-earning athlete in 2022, with a yearly income of about $138 million. This was mostly because of his LIV Golf paycheck. 

Besides tournament winnings, Mickelson earns millions through endorsement deals with companies like Coffee of Wellness, Amgen, Intrepid Financial Partners, Titleist, and Grayhawk. He also owns the Phil Mickelson Golf Club.

What is the net worth of John Daly?

John Daly, often called the “Long John,” is known for his unusual driving stance and quirky personality both on and off the golf course. He is also known for his love for cigarettes and beer. He gained recognition in 1991 with his PGA Championship win, and his performance in the 1995 Open Championship earned him the nickname “Dark Horse.”
