Bernhard Langer vs. Vijay Singh, the battle between two of the greatest golfers in history. The German professional golfer only won three PGA Tour events, but two of them were prestigious Masters tournament victories in 1985 and 1993.

The Fijian legend joined the scene a few years later when he competed in the 1998 PGA Championship. He followed this with a win at the 2000 Masters Tournament and another PGA Championship triumph in 2004. Overall, Singh had a far better PGA Tour career with a total of 34 wins. But Langer has the upper hand at the PGA Tour Champions, which he has won 47 times compared to Singh’s 5 victories.

It’s fair to say that both Langer and Singh have had pretty illustrious careers. Although they were at different stages in their lives, they still dominated the professional golf scene for an extended period of time. But who emerged from their battles richer?

According to the PGA Tour’s official website, Bernhard Langer has earned over $48 million in career winnings during his time on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions. Comparing him to Vijay Singh, the Fijian great has amassed almost $79 million through professional golf. It seems that “Veej” is the clear winner here.

Vijay Singh has also played a few tournaments on the European Tour. Of his 320 appearances, Singh has won 13 times. That adds another $2.9 million to his career earnings. This brings his net worth to $82 million.

However, as a German golfer, Langer has also achieved many other victories on the DP World Tour. Of the 513 tournaments he has competed in, he has won 42 times, earning nearly $11.6 million in prize money. That brings him to almost $60 million. He is still about $22 million behind Vijay Singh in total career earnings.

These were just Bernhard Langer and Vijay Singh’s earnings from their exploits on the track. However, as legends of the game, the two have also received many brand endorsements over the years. Let’s see how much they earned from it.

Bernhard Langer vs. Vijay Singh’s sponsorship income

Bernhard Langer is considered one of the fittest senior tour players in the world and has always been an attractive name for brands to associate with. Despite his age of 67, the German international is capable of consistently performing well and winning tournaments. His last victory came a few months ago at the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship. It is therefore no surprise that Langer was able to convince the US-based LBM for a multi-year sponsorship contract in 2021. The most lucrative and oldest endorsement he received came from Mercedes-Benz, which also offered him a stylish ride back in 2023 to show off at the Masters tournament. Bernhard Langer is also sponsored by other major brands such as Rolex, Berenberg, Bogner, Winston Golf, Sanford Health and many more. His endorsement earnings add nearly $20 million to his earnings, bringing his total to over $80 million.

There are very few reports about the specific details of Vijay Singh’s brand endorsements. However, some suggest that he earned around $7 million from endorsements. That would bring his total earnings to nearly $90 million.

We can say that Vijay Singh is the clear winner here. But the two could have other sources of income that could tip the balance in Bernhard Langer’s favor. Do you know other important earnings of Vijay Singh & Bernhard Langer? Share your views in the comment section.
