Russell Henley’s career earnings

The 2010 Haskins Award winner was the second player to win a Korn Ferry Tour event as an amateur. Well, his path as a professional also saw an upside despite having irregularities in the wins. After winning at the debut, Henley then won the next year at the Honda Classic. However, after that, it took him three years to win again at the Shell Houston Open in 2017. A similar feat continued as he won in 2023 at the World Wide Technology Championship and then, in 2025, the Arnold Palmer Invitational. But away from the irregularities in his victories, the 70% plus statistics of making the cut are what have made the difference in his bank account.

His consistency has helped him cross the million mark in earnings since his debut year. In 2013, he earned $1.9 million from official payouts, which in the next year crossed the $2.5 million milestone. But with irregularities in victories, he continued on a steady path with $1 million base earnings each year. Notably, the best year of his career earnings was 2023, when he bagged over $5 million. All thanks to his victory at the World Wide Technology Championship, which added $1.47 million to his account. Along with that, the T4 finish at the Masters and T2 at the Wyndham Championship contributed $744,000 and $676,000, respectively.

Even by the end of the 2025 calendar year, it will surpass his highest-earning year, as Henley has already crossed the $5 million mark with just eight appearances. His major contribution to it came from his victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which added $4 million. His T5 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach resulted in a $755,000 increase. With the constant upward trend in earnings, the golfer has surpassed the $34 million mark in career earnings as of February 2025. The Arnold Palmer Invitational winner has amassed an impressive net worth of $10 million as of 2025.

If the 36-year-old continues in a similar vein to the past few years, there is no doubt that he could be among the highest earners on the PGA Tour. But for the fact, the on-course earnings aren’t the only factor affecting his net worth, as the golfer has many partnerships. A small chunk of his fortune comes from the brand partnerships and endorsement deals that the Georgia-based golfer has signed till now.
