His first victory was the 2006 Telecom Italian Open, which got him €233,330. He then won the Omega Mission Hills World Cup, which is a team event. So he didn’t win any individual prize money there.

In 2025, he played in 8 events and didn’t make the cut in 3 of them. On the other hand, of the 12 events on the PGA Tour, he made the cut in only 5.

From equipment deals to advertising campaigns and public appearances, Molinari has made significant money through these endorsements. However, most of these earnings came during his peak time, just like the official prize money.

He signed a multiyear deal with Callaway in 2019. This deal came after his victory at the Open Championship, which made him a household name. With this deal, he switched all 14 clubs in his bag to their equipment. This ended his partnership with Bettinardi Golf. However, he rejoined Bettinardi Golf in 2023. He started using their putter.

Molinari’s biggest asset is the real estate he has invested in. He owns a luxurious villa in Turin and a waterfront property in Miami, Florida. These assets contribute significantly to Francesco Molinari’s $20 million net worth in 2025.

He also has a post of a soccer match, but it dates back to 2018. There’s nothing much apart from these rare instances that gives a gist about Francesco Molinari’s personal life.
