Golfers like Jordan Spieth have around $40 million to date on tour, and Collin Morikawa is one figure in the sport who is quickly becoming popular (and wealthy) in his own right. He may only be just 24 years old, but according to his PGA bio, he boasts four career wins, nabbing two of those in 2020 alone.
In an interview with Golfweek, Morikawa shared that the secret to his success is his "competitive fire." "I hate losing. I will compete against anybody at anything," he said. "From a very young age, I've always had the belief that I could overcome any obstacle, and I never thought about quitting. I felt like if I gave myself enough time and effort to give myself a shot, I could do it and go out and beat the best." Morikawa also noted that he is fortunate to have a supportive family and circle, and he "never" took anything for granted.
Because of all those things, the athlete has achieved a ton of success, and a large bank account. Keep scrolling for more on Morikawa's impressive net worth.
