So let’s take a look at all the big cheques he has banked, huge contracts he has signed, and big purchases he has made. We will begin with Nick Dunlap’s winnings on the golf course. As an amateur, his journey began when he won The American Express in 2024. However, because of his status, he couldn’t collect the $1.5 million cheque from the sponsors. Instead, the second-place finisher, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, was given the winner’s paycheck instead. The only thing Dunlap took with him was the trophy. Soon after, he did turn pro and earned his PGA Tour membership as well. ADVERTISEMENT So Dunlap started earning paychecks when he competed in his next PGA Tour event, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM. Later in the year, he also won the Barracuda Championship, setting a record for winning a title as an amateur and a pro in the same PGA Tour season. For that, he earned a $720,000 paycheck. However, the 21-year-old’s biggest earnings came from his T5 finish in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He received a mammoth $760,000 cheque for his efforts. 2025 hasn’t been as good for Dunlap. He has only gotten one top-10 finish by the end of the first round of the World Wide Technology Championship. His biggest winnings have come from a T17 finish in The Genesis Invitational, for which he received $270,714.29. In his two seasons on the PGA Tour, Nick Dunlap has managed to earn a total of $4,089,208. That’s quite impressive for a 21-year-old who was an amateur golfer in January 2024 and missed what could have been his biggest winnings of $1.5 million.
