Tom Weiskopf Net Worth At Death

Tom Weiskopf was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. He won 16 PGA Tour titles between 1968 and 1982 and after ending his career as a golfer, he ventured into golf course architecturing, where he became a major force.

With so many years under his belt as a golfer and a golf course architect, Weiskopf amassed considerable wealth for himself and at the time of death, he had an estimated net worth of $10 million.

Weiskopf’s first win on the PGA Tour came at the Andy Williams-San Diego Open Invitational in 1968, and fifteen more followed by 1982.

He also won the Canadian Open in 1973 and 1975, winning the latter in quite a dramatic fashion, with a one-hole playoff win over archrival Jack Nicklaus, when Weiskopf nearly holed his approach on the 15th hole at the Royal Montreal Golf Club’s Blue Course.

Weiskopf was also a member of the United States team in the 1973 and 1975 Ryder Cups. He also worked as a golf analyst for CBS Sports, covering the 1981 and 1985 to 1995 Masters. From 2008 on, he contributed to ABC Sports and ESPN’s coverage of The Open Championship.

Weiskopf has at least 40 courses to his credit in many parts of the world, including the Monument and Pinnacle courses at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona; and Loch Lomond, the venue of the Scottish Open from 1995 to 2010.

Weiskopf’s designs mostly feature a drivable par-4 hole. It is worthy to note that many of his courses have received considerable praise by being ranked highly in lists of top courses around the world.
