In 2025, Daniel Hillier competed in 27 tournaments, two of which were on the PGA Tour. Unfortunately, he missed the cuts at both events – the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open Championship. On the DP World Tour, he started with a standout performance, registering a solo second on the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, earning $1.1 M. He lost by one stroke, giving way to the ultimate champ Tyrrell Hatton. But still, he had an impressive financial victory.

After that, there were a few other notable finishes. In October, he flew to India and placed himself tied for ninth with 16 under par. Despite the average result, he did cash out a decent $84,228. His recent highlight came at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, where he managed a T5. A share of $350K was credited to his account.

Beyond these marquee results, Hillier picked up roughly half a million dollars more through other mid-pack finishes across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He ultimately finished 18th in the Race to Dubai rankings. That made him miss a full PGA Tour card by just two agonizing spots.

Once you add all that, Hillier’s seasonal prize money totals somewhere around $1.8 M to $2.2 M. This might make 2025 his most lucrative year yet. Alongside all these tournament earnings, Hillier’s sponsorships also played a key role in his financial picture.

Daniel Hillier has a growing portfolio with premium brands

As a Titleist Brand Ambassador, Daniel Hillier represents a name globally respected in golf equipment. His setup includes a Pro V1x ball, GT series woods, and T-Series irons, SM9 wedges, and a Scotty Cameron Phantom putter. These are part of a deal which is estimated to fall somewhere between $150k-$300k annually.

When it comes to apparel, Hillier usually carries Hugo Boss. This partnership has reportedly been maintained since 2022. For DP World Tour players, such deals usually fall in the $100k to $200K range. Then come some other on-course essentials, such as FootJoy shoes and StaSof gloves, that might bring an estimated $35,000 to $100k collectively.

Behind such an expanding brand portfolio is Alpha Sports Management. They also represent other notable names like Ernie Els and Antoine Rozner.

Adding all these, Hillier’s sponsorship income will fall from around $285k to a massive $600k. These all depend on the bonuses and performance triggers. Totalling his entire career earnings, you could see a bank balance of at least $4 M. This is an impressive milestone for a player who is still very much at the beginning of their career.
