Okay, so I was really curious about this Erik van Rooyen guy and how much he’s made in his career. I mean, the dude’s a pro golfer, so it’s gotta be interesting, right?

Digging for Information
I started by just Googling “Erik van Rooyen career earnings.” You know, the basic stuff. I figured there’d be some websites that track this kind of thing for athletes.
I found a few different sites that listed out tournament results and prize money. They weren’t all exactly the same, which was kind of annoying. Some included certain tournaments, others didn’t. It was a bit of a mess to compare, honestly.
My rough estimate
After looking I estimated these earnings:
- PGA Tour: I am seeing around $8,671,786.
- DP World Tour:I am seeing around €4,882,469.53
It’s tricky to get an exact total. Golfers have different tours, sponsors, and probably a bunch of other ways they make money that I don’t even know about.
It gave me a general idea, It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be!
