Jerry Kelly, who boasts 18 top-10 finishes in senior majors since turning 50 ahead of the 2017 season, has plenty of reasons to be happy at the ongoing 2025 Regions Tradition. Not only is he at the top of the leaderboard, but this also marks his best position in the tournament since the 2023 Regions Tradition. If Kelly, who aims to “keep the pedal down with these guys,” manages to win at the Greystone Founders Course, he will add another $390,000 to his already impressive net worth!
As of May 2025, estimates place Jerry Kelly’s net worth between $18 million and $35 million, with Kelly’s biggest earnings coming in the 2001–2002 season, where he earned $2.9 million. However, so far this season, he has earned $510,410 across six tournaments. His biggest earnings in 2025 came from his win at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic, where he took home $300,000. Additionally, he secured significant wins at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, earning $93,000, and at the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational, where he earned $64,240. At the recently concluded iconic Insperity Invitational, Kelly finished T22 and earned $30,850.
With much of the 2025 season still remaining, Jerry Kelly will likely add to his already impressive tournament earnings of $510,410 this season. Until that happens, reports estimate his official career earnings in both the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions to be around $41.5–$50 million (or more).
Given his commendable 2024 season, during which he achieved 8 top-10 finishes, Jerry Kelly earned approximately $1,425,587. His biggest payout came from his win at the 2024 SAS Championship, where he took home $315,000. Following that, Kelly secured an impressive $252,000 at the Kaulig Companies Championship. He also earned significant amounts from his T2 finish at the Cologuard Classic ($161,333) and his T5 finish at the Hoag Classic Newport Beach ($88,000).

He achieved his largest payout at the U.S. Senior Open Championship, finishing in third place and earning $267,672. Additionally, he secured $160,000 for his T2 finish at the Principal Charity Classic. Other significant earnings included $150,000 for his fourth-place finish at the Regions Tradition and $113,400 for his T4 finish at the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS. However, Kelly boasts an amazing portfolio in endorsements and sponsorships as well.
Jerry Kelly’s endorsements and sponsorships in the 2025 season
Jerry Kelly’s journey in endorsements began with collaborations with reputable golf brands like Titleist and FootJoy, which provided him with substantial annual income and complimentary equipment throughout his career. These profitable sponsorships strengthened his financial stability and allowed him to broaden his income sources beyond just tournament earnings.
In 2017, Kelly secured a sponsorship with Cologuard, an at-home colorectal cancer screening test developed by Exact Sciences, a company based in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. This partnership highlights his dedication to health awareness and community involvement. Jerry Kelly is in partnership with Cologuard in the 2025 season, still effectively raising awareness.
Between 2018 and 2019, Kelly collaborated with Exact Sciences on the “Birdies for Charity” initiative, where each birdie he scored contributed to cancer research and raised over $150,000 for the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation. This effort not only enhanced his public image but also aligned with his philanthropic principles.
Although he may not have the high-profile endorsements of younger athletes, Kelly’s enduring brand loyalty and commitment to community-oriented projects, such as the First Tee of Greater Madison, provide him with consistent income and strengthen his standing in the sport. His partnerships emphasize performance and dependability, reflecting his straightforward playing style.
