Prize Money

According to the official PGA Tour website, Zach Johnson has earned approxinmately $50 million in prize money during his career. His career on the circuit spans 24 years, and so there’s a lot to cover here. Let’s start by discussing his earnings from the earliest years of his career and work our way up from there.

Early Career Winnings

Zach Johnson joined the PGA Tour in 2001, but didn’t start competing until the following year. He played in just two events and finished tied for seventeenth in the BellSouth Classic, earning $57,000. In 2003, Johnson entered only the John Deere Classic, but he missed the cut.

As it turns out, this wouldn’t really matter, as just a year later, Zach realized one of the most explosive starts to a career we’ve ever seen. Typically, athletes in sports that don’t offer fixed salaries but instead rely on prize money take a few years to warm up. You would expect their annual winnings to gradually increase in their first few years, potentially exceeding $1 million by the fourth or fifth year. 

Johnson, on the other hand, decided that the normal route was too slow. In 2004, he entered 30 events, making the cut in 24. Zach won the BellSouth Classic, earning $810,000, and also placed high in several other events, taking home six-figure purses from six other tournaments. He earned a total of $2.42 million for the year.

Peak Career Prize Money

And just like that, we’re already entering the period that is widely regarded as Zach Johnson’s peak. Between 2005 and 2018, he never earned less than $1.6 million per year on the course. In several of these years, Johnson earned more than $4 mllion in prize money, which are still the highest-earning years of his career to date.

The first of which was 2009, when he won two events and placed high in at least half a dozen more. Johnson earned $4.71 million that year, and naturally, his tournament wins accounted for the lion’s share of this figure. This included a purse of $1.1 million for winning the Valero Texas Open and $972,000 for winning the Sony Open in Hawaii. Johnson also earned $4.5 million in 2012, $4.04 million in 2013, and $4.8 million (a career-high) in 2015.

Although Zach still competes on the PGA Tour, his earnings haven’t been anywhere near the same level since 2019. He typically takes home between $500,000 and $1 million in prize money per year.

Real Estate

According to reports, Zach Johnson previously owned a 3,713-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Sanford, Florida. It’s believed that he acquired the property for $625,000 in October 2016 and sold it for $640,000 in February 2018. However, we were unable to confirm the accuracy of these reports during our research.

Introduction

Kevin Na is a Korean American professional golfer with an estimated net worth of $25 Million.

Quick Facts

• Earned apporixmately $37.8 million on the PGA Tour
• Peak annual PGA prize money of $3.63 million in 2021
• Reportedly earned $10.7 million with LIV Golf thus far

Prize Money

Kevin Na played on the PGA Tour for roughly 2 decades, from 2003 to 2022, and won 5 events. According to the official PGA Tour website, he earned a total of $37.8 million in prize money before signing with LIV Golf at the end of 2022. We gathered all the information on Na’s annual winnings during his PGA tenure to analyze how his on-course income evolved over time.

Before we go into further detail, bear in mind that, prior to 2013, a PGA Tour season ran from January to December. However, beginning in 2013, the seasons commenced in September and concluded in August of the following year. Thus, when we discuss “2014 winnings,” we refer to tournaments held between September 2013 and August 2014.

Early PGA Winnings

When Na debuted on the tour in 2003, he played in just two events, earning approximately $23,375. He was just nineteen years old at the time. However, the following year (regarded as his first full season), Na took home an impressive $901,000, signaling an impressive start to his career.

Na’s first seven-figure year would come in 2005, when he earned just under $1.1 million in prize money. That year, he entered 32 events and made the cut in 14, but just two of them were responsible for roughly 66% of his annual winnings. This comprised the FBR Open, where he tied for second place and earned $457,600, and the Chrysler Classic of Tucson, which earned him $264,000.

During the next few years, Kevin’s annual winnings were on somewhat of a rollercoaster. The year after his first seven-figure season, he earned just $146,000, though this was less to do with performance and primarily from the PGA Tour adjusting its season start/end dates. This was followed by a rapid bounce-back to $856,700 in 2007 and $1.04 million in 2008.

Peak PGA Tour Winnings

It’s challenging to define an exact period of Kevin Na’s tenure on the PGA Tour that would be considered his peak years. Between 2009 and 2021, his annual prize money typically ranged from $2 million to $3.6 million. There were a couple of exceptions to this rule, like in 2013 when he won just $110,864. In the years that he earned at least $2 million, he often won between $150,000 and $250,000 from many events.

That said, a few years stand out in particular, including 2014 ($3.15 million), 2016 ($3.44 million), 2018 ($3.58 million), and 2021 ($3.63 million). All four of these years have one thing in common: Na earned over $600,000 from a single tournament at least once in each of them, and in some cases, more than $1 million.

In fact, here are his five largest paychecks from the aforementioned seasons:

1. A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier (2018) – $1.31 million
2. Sony Open in Hawaii (2021) – $1.19 million
3. The Memorial Tournament (2014) – $669,600
4. Frys.com Open (2016) – $648,000
5. Genesis Open (2018) – $633,000

LIV Golf Prize Money

In 2022, Kevin Na became one of the many star players to sign with LIV Golf. The organization has been handing out nine-figure contracts like they’re Tic Tacs. According to reports, Jon Rahm inked the most valuable LIV Golf contract, worth approximately $300 million. Phil Mickelson secured a $200 million contract, and Brooks Koepka negotiated a $130 million deal. Other golfers to sign nine-figure contracts include Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau.

Unfortunately, the details behind Kevin Na’s contract with LIV Golf were never disclosed to the public. However, there have been reports on how much he’s earned thus far with the organization. In February 2026, National Club Golfer reported that Na had earned roughly $10.7 million in prize money since signing with LIV Golf. He’s currently the 47th-highest-earning member of the tour.

Ex-Fiancé Lawsuit

At the beginning of 2013, Kevin Na met a Korean woman through a dating service, and within just twelve months, they were engaged. The wedding was scheduled for November 2014, but the couple broke up a month before. The woman, whose last name is Chung, claimed that Kevin broke up with her over the phone, declaring that he no longer loved her.

The families formally decided to call off the wedding in October 2014, after Kevin returned the presents he had received from the bride. Chung also reportedly received a $100,000 watch from Na, which she did not return. 

Unexpectedly, the Chung family threatened Kevin with negative consequences if he refused to consent to marry the woman. A few days after Kevin turned her down, her mother appeared at the Korean Open carrying a banner pleading with Kevin to grant her daughter’s life back.

The woman later filed a lawsuit against Kevin Na, which was extensively covered by the Korean media. She alleged that she had been used as some sort of sex-slave, and filed the lawsuit to prevent other victims in the future. Kevin countersued for defamation and won the case. He later mentioned in an interview that Chung was ordered to pay him around $50,000 in damages.

Summary 

Kevin has experienced many ups and downs throughout his career and personal life. However, this has not stopped him from achieving his goal of pursuing a respectable golfing career. Now that he has resigned from the PGA Tour to pursue fame and fortune on the LIV Tour, he will surely succeed with his careful preparation and game-winning temperament.

Real Estate

In December 2014, Jordan Spieth purchased a 7,378-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Dallas, Texas, for an undisclosed sum. Since Texas is a non-disclosure state,  transaction values for property sales aren’t publicly reported. However, it was previously listed for $2.475 million, so he likely paid somewhere within this range. Spieth briefly listed the home for sale at $2.8 million in January 2016, but took it off the market later that year. It currently has an estimated value of $4.27 million.

Summary 

Jordan became well known for his golfing talent early in his career, breaking age records and winning multiple championships as a teenager. He has become an inspiration to young athletes everywhere and continues to make his mark on the golf circuit, winning or placing at the top of the field in nearly every event he competes in. His next goal is to join the best of the best by achieving a grand slam, which he will no doubt achieve very soon.
