Hideki Matsuyama made history on Sunday after becoming the first man from Japan to win a major golf title. Sure enough, after the momentous win, the talk of the town has been the prize purse and Hideki Matsuyama's net worth in 2021.
According to Golf Channel, Matsuyama took home a total of $2,070,000 in the 85th Masters Tournament, with Will Zatoris behind him with a little over $1.2 million earnings in Augusta. The massive cash prize certainly adds more to the net worth of Matsuyama, which is already shocking to say the least.
Hideki Matsuyama's Net Worth in 2021 (estimate): $25 million
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hideki Matsuyama's net worth in 2021 is at an estimated $25 million.
Of course, that number pales in comparison with the likes of the more established golfers like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy who are valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. heck, even Justin Thomas has a higher value than Matsuyama, as the fellow 85th Masters participant has a whopping $30 million net worth.
Prior to the victory, Matsuyama was listed at No. 37 on ESPN's list of golf's all-time money leaders. He has earned over $31 million over his career.
However, Matsuyama is only 29 years old and he should have more time and opportunities to see his value increase over time.
Matsuyama, according to reports, was introduced to golf when he was 4 years old, and he hasn't stopped swinging his club ever since. He has multiple PGA Tour wins since debuting as a pro in 2013, though his best finish (prior to Sunday's victory, of course) being tied for second with Brian Harman in the 2017 US Open.
Aside from that, he finished at the Top 5 of the 2015 Masters Tournament and no.6 in the 2013 The Open Championship. He placed fourth in the 2016 PGA Championship. On the PGA Tour, he won the 2014 Memorial Tournament, the 2016 and 2017 The Waste Management Phoenix Open and the 2016 WGC-HSBC Champions competition.
Now, as Matsuyama moves forward after his Masters win, his value should only continue to trend upwards–with potential sponsorship deals and endorsements waiting on the horizon. As Kurt Badenhausen of Yahoo Sports! reported, Matsuyama's win could easily lead to as much as $600 million worth of endorsement deals.
Currently, Matsuyama has partnered with the likes of Lexus, Srixon and Nomura Securities that reportedly bring him $8 to $10 million per year.
Considering that Japan is crazy about golf, it won't be surprising to see the 2021 Masters Champion to rake in more money off the course in the coming years. Who knows, Hideki Mastuyama's net worth in 2021 could double or triple by 2022 and beyond.
