Ryder Cup star's wife has her own millionaire fortune by building her own empire

Russell Henley is making his Ryder Cup debut following a standout year that saw him thrust into the PGA Tour spotlight. Henley clinched a thrilling win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, thanks to a dramatic chip-in eagle, bagging himself a cool £2.9 million top prize. Since then, he’s maintained excellent form, earning an automatic spot on Keegan Bradley’s Team USA for the showdown at Bethpage Black. His family, including wife Teil Duncan Henley and their three children, will be cheering him on as he aims for a successful tournament, building on last year’s Presidents Cup victory. Henley, a seasoned pro on the PGA Tour, has steadily increased his financial status through consistent performances and significant wins, reports. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at around £11million. This figure includes cumulative earnings of over £40million since turning professional in 2011, according to Spotrac. There’s additional income from endorsement deals with brands such as NetJets, Titleist, and a previous partnership with Nike. His professional record boasts five PGA Tour victories, most notably highlighted by his exhilarating triumph at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he overtook Collin Morikawa to secure a £2.9million prize and catapult into the world’s top 10 rankings. Teil Duncan Henley, Russell’s wife, has established her own notable reputation within the art and design sector. Hailing from Columbus, Georgia, she secured a fine arts qualification from Auburn University before making her mark as an accomplished painter and entrepreneurial creative. Russell regularly credits Teil’s stabilising influence, remarking she “puts steel in my spine” and brings “quiet confidence” to their family environment. The couple married in October 2015 and have three children together – Robert Russell (born 2018), Ruth Teil (2019), and Jane Edith (2022). Teil has channelled her artistic talents into a thriving commercial enterprise. In March 2024, she expanded her creative range to include Teil Textiles and Wallpaper. It offers an extensive array of interior design products, from wall treatments and lighting to soft furnishings and stationery items, combining artistic flair with functional home décor. She has also authored ‘The Color Teil: Life, Work and Inspiration,’ charting her artistic journey and design philosophy. Her estimated net worth stands at £1.4million, generated through her artwork sales, publications, and business ventures.
