Troy Merritt – Net worth 2023
While it’s difficult to put a precise figure on Merritt’s net worth due to his unrecorded payments (most of them), sources have come up with a figure they consider close.
His first-place win at the 2009 Mexican Open earned him $117,500, while his third-place finish at the 2015 Heritage Classic earned him approximately $400,000. Despite finishing 125th on the PGA Tour money list in 2010, he earned much more than expected: $786,000 versus $680,000.
He has competed in 248 PGA Tour tournaments and has ranked in the top 129 of them 129 times. According to CBS, his earnings from those events were just over $10 million.
His golf income is expected to exceed $700,000 in 2021. In 2015, he earned the most money of his career, $2 million plus a few thousand dollars.
That’s all that’s ever been said about the value of their portfolios. It is still a little more difficult to estimate Troy Merritt’s actual net worth. However, he is said to own wealth worth more than $5 million (approximately).
civil status
Merritt is married to Courtney Achter and has two children, Dodge and Scout, with her. Achter attended Broncos State University in Boise, Idaho, as a gymnast. On March 13, 2010, the couple married at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island.
In an interview with the PGA Tour in October 2014, Achter said that her husband’s ambition from the beginning had been to be a professional golfer, something he had expressed to her on their first date. At Table Rock, a hiking trail in Boise, Idaho, Merritt proposed to Achter.
“I turned around and there he was, and I thought, Oh my God, you’re going to enjoy this, but it was wonderful,” Courtney recalled, remembering Troy’s proposal. The couple currently resides in Boise, Idaho.
Professional life
Troy Merritt began his professional career in 2008. Merritt won his first Nationwide Tour event, the Mexican Open, on September 6, 2009, with a 20-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff, defeating Australian Adam Bland.
Additionally, he became the third golfer to win a medal in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament by leading after each round on December 7, 2009.
He won by one stroke against veteran Jeff Maggert with a score of 22 under par despite a double bogey on the final hole (108) of the six-round contest. Merritt finished 125th on the PGA Tour in 2010, earning the last position needed to retain his card.
