Rising PGA Tour Star Reveals His Admiration for $45M Worth Retired NFL Icon Rob Gronkowski

26-year-old, Will Zalatoris, is still getting to grips with the daily life of a golfer on the PGA Tour. He finished second in his debut Major Championship at the Masters Tournament last year. Will has earned more than $10 million in career prize money so far and has already taken some crucial financial advice, thanks to the money-saving hacks of NFL icon, Rob Gronkowski.

Zalatoris explains his money-saving rule, learned from Rob Gronkowski

“Something I loved about Gronkowski was he lives off his endorsement money and saves all of his NFL contracts,” he said. “I don’t live by that strictly, but I try to do a really good job of that. I think what I do off the golf course allows me to live very comfortably and everything that I make on the golf course is almost set for retirement.”

The World No. 7 also has plans on continuing his money-saving process for the future. “If you think of all the money we make, there’s no guarantee that I’m going to play for the next 10-12 years,” he said.

Zalatoris also mentioned how he and his partner would cook six days a week and be terrible at dates, which saves up a lot of money. “We’re just like being normal people,” he said.

For the unversed, Rob Gronkowski is a recently retired footballer who last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite possessing a party-animal mentality throughout his career, Gronkowski saved up a lot of money for his retirement.

The money hack? The 33-year-old used his endorsement money to blow off his wildlife, but didn’t use a single penny from his massive NFL contracts to fund his life off the field. Gronkowski penned down his rules in his book: ‘It’s Good to Be Gronk’, in which he revealed how he didn’t touch his signing on and contract fee and lived through his marketing money.
