Early Career
Davis Riley was one of the strongest junior golfers in the United States. At Presbyterian Christian School in Hattiesburg, he won four consecutive Mississippi state titles. He also reached the final of the U.S. Junior Amateur twice, a rare achievement shared by only a small group of players, including Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth.
Riley then played college golf at Alabama from 2015 to 2018, earned All-America recognition, and represented the United States in the 2014 Junior Ryder Cup and 2018 Palmer Cup.
Professional Career
Riley turned professional in 2019 and quickly made progress through sponsor invitations and Monday qualifiers. In 2020, he won the Panama Championship and the TPC San Antonio Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour, helping secure his rise to the PGA TOUR. His breakthrough PGA TOUR win came with Nick Hardy at the 2023 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
In 2024, Riley earned his first individual PGA TOUR title at the Charles Schwab Challenge, winning by five strokes over Scottie Scheffler and Keegan Bradley.

Davis Riley’s Net Worth Details
Davis Riley’s exact net worth is not publicly available because professional golfers do not release full information about taxes, investments, properties, endorsement income, and expenses. However, a reasonable estimated range for 2026 is around $8 million to $12 million.
That estimate is based mainly on his nearly $12 million in reported PGA TOUR career earnings, plus income from equipment and apparel partnerships. It should not be confused with his tournament earnings: career prize money is gross income before travel, coaching, caddie fees, taxes, and other costs. The PGA TOUR listed his career earnings at $11,986,722 in 2026.
