Bubba Watson is one of the most underrated golfers on the PGA Tour. He has 12 PGA Tour wins, and two major championship wins in his career so far. However, given his ability and skills, most of the fans feel Bubba has underachieved as a golfer in his career. His last victory on the PGA Tour was in 2018, and since then, there has been a huge drought. Meanwhile, Bubba Watson is also said to be one of the toughest golfers to get along with, and he has had some temper issues, and we have seen a snippet of it during the 2013 Travelers Championship. Meanwhile, ESPN did a secret survey of around 103 tour pros and gathered some information. BUBBA WATSON GETS MOST VOTES IN A SECRET SURVEY When ESPN [https://www.espn.in/golf/masters15/story/_/id/12598860/pga-tour-secret-survey-data] conducted the secret survey, one question was if a player is in a fight in the parking lot and you’re not helping him. Which is that player? And surprisingly, the two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson stood out from the rest of his mates. Bubba got around 23 pros who said his name.

But surprisingly, Bubba Watson topped the list. When asked about this in a press conference, the left-handed golfer replied that he probably needs to improve as a man.

Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports “I take it as I need to improve as a man. And I take it with pride. I need to get better, and I think over my career, since my rookie season to now, I’ve got better. But obviously, there’s more room for me to improve as a man,” said Bubba [http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=108214]. Furthermore, he said he hopes to improve the year or year after it. “So if it’s a bad thing and people don’t like me, then I’ve got to improve and prove them wrong.” Hence, Bubba Watson took this decision or secret survey positively, and we can see him improved as a person recently on the PGA Tour.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bubba Watson 2023: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</span></h2>
Bubba Watson (Gerry Lester Watson Jr.) is an unparalleled professional left-handed American golfer. He has scripted a great number of golfing achievements in his career, including two major wins.

In 2022, Watson shocked the golf world by leaving behind the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Here is all you need to know about Watson's rise to fame, his professional achievements, and other accolades!
<h2>Early life and family</h2>
Bubba Watson was born on November 5, 1978, in Bagdad, Florida. However, he currently resides at Pensacola, Florida. He started to play at the age of six. At that tender age, his father gave him a cut-down 9-iron with which he played around the house, striking whiffle balls. His father was his first and the only teacher who taught him the basics. After that, Watson taught himself, thus developing a unique playing style.

He married his wife, Angie, in 2004. The couple adopted two children. They adopted Caleb, a son in 2012, and a daughter, Dakota, in 2014.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Watson started to play golf at a very young age and never stopped playing it. After initially dabbling in baseball for a while in his Milton high school, Watson left that sport for golf. He played in his school golf team, and when he went to college in Alabama, Faulkner State Community, he continued playing.

Even when Watson went to study at university (the University of Georgia), his passion for the sport did not subside. He left college a year before he graduated and turned pro in golf in 2002.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
After turning pro, Watson toured from 2001 to 2005 with the Developmental Nationwide Tour. In 2006, as a PGA rookie, Watson led in the driving distance. He averaged around 319.6 yards per drive.

His first-ever victory on the PGA Tour came in June of 2010 at the Travelers Championship. In the following years, Watson went on to win many championships. So far, he has won 12 titles on the PGA Tour, including two major victories. The golfer achieved his career-best second-place rank on the Official World Golf Rankings in February 2015.
<h2>Major wins</h2>
In 2012, he played against Louis Oosthuizen, a South African golfer, and pipped him to the green jacket. Winning in the Master's Tournament in 2012 was not the only achievement. Bubba Watson again flaunted his unique style and talent for golf in 2014. He wore the "Green Jacket" for the second time.

He came close to winning the PGA Championship in 2010, losing the title to Martin Kaymer at Whistling Straits. He then settled for a solo second-place finish.
<h2>US national team appearances</h2>
Bubba Watson has been part of the Ryder Cup squads for the USA four times to date (2010, 2012, 2014, and 2018). He has also been a part of the Presidents Cup squad in 2011 and 2015. Both times, Team US emerged as the winner of the competition.
<h2>Move to LIV Golf</h2>
In 2022, Bubba Watson was one of the biggest names to move to LIV Golf. Per the Telegraph, the 2-time major winner had signed a whopping $50 million contract with the Saudi-backed circuit! However, his knee surgery kept him away from the greens that year.

After joining the LIV league, Watson was also made captain of the RangeGoats GC. It is one of the twelve teams in the league and includes Talor Gooch, Thomas Pieters, and Harold Varner III.
<h2>Net worth and endorsements</h2>
Per GolfSpan, Bubba Watson boasts a net worth of $40 million. According to various sources, he has pocketed a total of $48,049,780 in career earnings, averaging $2,669,432 in prize money per year. However, his jaw-dropping contract with LIV Golf is bound to have significantly boosted his wealth.

He has often used PING equipment while playing. Moreover, the golfer has also been seen wearing Nike Jordans on the field.
