The Masters 2026 is now well underway, with some of the world’s best golfers competing for the iconic Green Jacket, a lifetime invitation to the tournament and, of course, a massive cash prize.
Beginning on Thursday, April 9, the event takes place at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, United States, with the 90th edition of the prestigious tournament running until Sunday, April 13.
One of the most lucrative events in the sporting calendar, it is reported that the prize money for last year’s Masters stood at a whopping $21 million. With such huge riches, many golfers have morphed into some of the richest sportsmen on the planet - even before their multi-million pound endorsements and business ventures. But who is the richest golf player ever?
Here are the top 15 richest golf players of all time in 2026, from 15-1, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

12. Phil Mickleson - $300million
One of the richest golfers on the planet, his net worth comes from a combination of long-term elite golf success and mammoth endorsement deals, including a transformative million-plus move to LIV Golf in 2022. A six-time major champion, he has won The Masters three times, and is one of only eight players in history to have earned three or more Green Jackets. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
