Brooke Matthews is not taking anything for granted in her second stint as a full-time LPGA Tour member. After a stellar collegiate career at the University of Arkansas, Matthews earned her LPGA card in 2022. But the path after that was not easy. She struggled in her rookie year, finishing 151st in the Race to Dubai to the CME Globe standings. This forced her to give up her full status on the tour and start over on the Epson Tour. But now she’s back on the LPGA Tour, rebuilding not just her ranks, but also cashing in some good money.

Brooke Matthews’ Road to Success

Born in 1998, Matthews faced a tough rookie year on the LPGA Tour, playing 15 events but making only four cuts. Her best finish was a T10 at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, earning $25,360, with total season earnings of $38,182.

In 2023, she played the US Women’s Open but missed the cut at +9. A T62 at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship brought no prize money, though her Epson Tour appearances offered some relief.

As a non-member, Matthews made 12 cuts in 18 Epson Tour starts, earning $20,426 with a best finish of T16 at the Twin Bridges Championship. Despite modest results, the experience fueled her confidence for a comeback.

In 2024, Matthews joined the Tour full-time and delivered. She made 15 cuts in 18 events, logged seven top-10s, and earned $103,976. A T2 at the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship and a fifth-place finish in the Race for the Card marked her true breakout season.

Her stellar financial rise in 2025

With a newfound consistency, Brooke Matthews made a comeback on the LPGA Tour. She has competed in 20 events so far, and has made 14 cuts, one of them being a top-10.

Her standout performance this year was a T8 at the LOTTE Championship, where she carded a -13 and took home a massive $71,293. A month ago, at the Kroger Queen City Championship, there was a T14, where again she achieved a -13, and added $27,646 to her total.

In August, she secured a good enough T15 with -11 and took home an impressive $54,313. And before that, at the Dow Championship, she posted another T14 result at -14. With that came a decent cheque of $25,695. All these amazing results added to her purse $410,400 in official LPGA Tour prize money for the year 2025. This is more than double her previous best year and marks a 230% increase compared to her 2023 result.

Her official LPGA career earnings now stand at $448.9K. And this is while the season is still going on. Currently, Brooke Matthews is at T2 of the BMW Ladies Championship, which has a prize purse of $2,300,000. If she wins the event, she will cash in a spectacular $345,000. But if she ends up at the 2nd place, she will take home $202,195. Either way, the earnings will be her highest ever earned.

But it is not just through golf that Brooke Matthew fills the coffers of her bank account. There are other lucrative deals, too, that get her massive money.

Brooke Matthews’ sponsorship and endorsement portfolio

As a pro golfer who is constantly bringing great results on the course, it is obvious that Brooke Matthews will earn massive brand deals and endorsements. Her known partners include Stephens Inc., with whom she has signed a multi-year apparel and ambassador deal in January 2022. Other than that, she has Team ShopRite, which also features her apparel and promotional appearances, and Tyson Foods.

She also represents Fairway & Greene through an apparel partnership, Zero Restriction as a weather-wear sponsor, and STORE Capital as a corporate ambassador.

Although the financial terms of these deals have not been publicly disclosed, industry standards suggest that an LPGA player of Matthews’s level typically earns between $50,000 and $150,000 annually through endorsements and appearance fees. Based on these benchmarks, conservative estimates place Matthews’s 2025 off-course earnings in the range of $100,000 to $200,000.

And with her consistent performance on the rise, Matthews will likely attract more brands and sponsorship deals, further boosting her financial growth in the coming seasons.
