Garrick Higgo’s golf journey started way later than that of many other professionals. While many started playing the game as young as 3 or 5, he started at 13 after a broken elbow ended his rugby ambitions. But despite the late start, he rose to become one of the top amateur golfers in South Africa.

That journey took a sharp turn for the better when Higgo turned professional in 2019 and started earning money from the sport he loved. Today, in 2026, he has a net worth estimated at between $2 million and $3 million, though no exact figure is available.

The estimations are primarily based on his PGA Tour earnings. There have been some mishaps in his career, such as incurring a two-stroke penalty for arriving late at the 2026 PGA Championship. But besides those rare moments, he has had a decent golf career, which has earned him a handsome amount.

Garrick Higgo’s official event earnings

After turning professional in 2019, Garrick Higgo rose quickly on the Sunshine Tour with two wins to earn his DP World Tour card. Then, on the European Tour, he earned his maiden title in just his 7th start at the 2020 Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos. He followed it with the wins at the 2021 Gran Canaria Lopesan Open and the 2021 Canary Islands Championship.

In total, he played in 47 events on the DP World Tour and earned €1,056,485.43 in official money. This translates to a little over $1.2 million.

On the PGA Tour, he has two titles. His debut win on the other side of the Atlantic came at the 2021 Palmetto Championship at Congaree. He carded rounds of 68-69-68-68 to finish 11-under 273 to win $1,314,000. Then, his second title came in at the $4 million event, the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship. He achieved this victory with rounds of 64-68-70-72 to finish 14-under 274. This victory earned him the biggest paycheck of his career, which was $720,000.

Higgo has had 119 starts on the PGA Tour. Of these, he made the cut in 65 and has won $7,368,884 in official prize money.

Collectively, the South African professional has earned over $8.5 million in official money across both tours.

Endorsements and off‑course income

Apart from the official tour earnings, a large part of Garrick Higgo’s income comes from endorsements and off-course deals. While there’s no clear picture available about his current deals, he reportedly has endorsements with Malbon, Callaway Golf, TravisMathew, NetJets, and Mastercard.

These deals play a significant role in stabilizing his earnings, which have helped his net worth grow to around $2 million.
