Here at SportsLens, we have decided to take an in-depth look at the career of Australian golfing sensation, former world number one and former major champion – Jason Day. This includes Day’s net worth, career earnings and endorsements.
Jason Day Net Worth Estimated At Over $55 Million
Jason Day is back in form and looks to be a force to be reckoned with once again on the PGA Tour. The Australian golfing juggernaut looks back to somewhere near his best, and will be hopeful of adding a second major championship to his honours this year.
Thus, here at SportsLens we have decided to take an in-depth look at Jason Day’s net worth, career earnings, and sponsorship deals.
According to Golf Monthly, Jason Day’s net worth is estimated to be in the region of $55 million as of today.
The 36-year-old is worth an absolute fortune and is one of the biggest names in the sport of golf. The Australian golfing sensation has won multiple tournaments all around the world since turning pro back in 2006, including 19 wins overall and 13 on the PGA Tour.
Golf Monthly now estimates his net worth to be at least $55 million, based on his lifetime earnings. Day has had an outstanding career so far and looks to be back somewhere near his best as he bids to win a second major title this year.
Since winning his maiden PGA Tour tournament back in 2010, Day has earned tens of millions of dollars. More about Day’s career earnings later in this article.
Day’s net worth has also been heavily enhanced through ventures off the golf course. His other main earners off the course come through his various endorsements. Again, more on that later. If Day has a strong season, his net worth could rise once again.
The career of Jason Day has been an incredibly successful one thus far. Not only that, but he could cement himself as one of the greats by becoming a multiple major championship winner in the not so distant future.

Ever since Jason Day turned professional, he has had a meteoric rise to the top of the sport. His first win came at the Byron Nelson Championship back in 2010, his first of 13 career PGA Tour victories. Not only that, but Day has already won various countries all around the world.
According to the Official World Golf Rankings, Day is back up to 19th in the world after being outside of the Top 50 for several years. Last year was somewhat of a comeback year for Jason Day. Not only did he get back in the winners circle on the PGA Tour, but he earned $7.7m+ in prize money – his third best year on tour in his career.
Forgetting off the course earnings for a minute, purely just on the PGA Tour, Jason Day has earned $58,925,775 according to pgatour.com. This puts Day inside the Top 10 on the PGA Tour career earnings list of all time (No.8). If his career continues the way it is going right now, he will almost certainly continue to rise up those rankings.
The career earnings don’t stop there though for the 1987-born golfing superstar. According to spotrac.com, Day’s career earnings in total equates to around $65 million. As mentioned, his official pay-outs are somewhere in the region of $59 million, but he has earned over $6 million more than that in total.
Day’s most successful year to date in terms of career earnings was of course in 2015. Day earned somewhere in the region of $10 million that year, his best year ever. This is due to the fact he won five events in 2015, including a major with the PGA Championship.

Jason Day Endorsement & Sponsorship Deals
Another reason that Jason Day has a net worth of $55 million and has earned upward of $65 million in his career is due to the fact he has various sponsors.
Day is heavily endorsed by several huge global companies and is paid millions each year to promote their brand. The former world number one has long-term endorsement deals with the likes of TaylorMade, DeWalt, Motive and Concur. The Aussie golfing star uses purely TaylorMade clubs, as well as using a TaylorMade bag.
Up until the New Year of 2024, Jason Day’s biggest endorsement deal was with Nike. The Ohio resident was one of Nike’s longest serving partners in golf, along with the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. However, Jason Day’s partnership with Nike came to an end earlier this year.
Day reportedly earned in excess of $10 million each year from his endorsement deal with Nike, which began back in 2016. In turn, he wore Nike clothing each and every golf tournament he plays in (source: Business Insider).
However, Day became the first PGA Tour player to become an ambassador for Malbon Golf. Malbon are well-known as a streetwear and lifestyle brand, but have now dived into the world of golf with Day being their biggest signing. Female golf star Charley Hull also signed to Malbon Golf in January 2024.

It is unknown how much Day is paid by Malbon Golf, but it is sure to be multi-millions considering how hefty his Nike deal was. All of these sponsors, along with his earnings on the golf course are all huge factors in the growth of Day’s net worth.
