After turning professional in 2015, Mito Pereira (opens in new tab) has enjoyed multiple successes, with the majority of his victories coming on the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour Latinoamérica series.
Despite not securing a victory on the PGA Tour, the Chilean has produced a number of fine results, with arguably his most infamous moment coming at the 2022 US PGA Championship, where he missed out on a chance of a playoff spot after double bogeying the 72nd hole. Despite this, Pereira (opens in new tab) has still racked up some considerable prize money and, in this piece, we take you through his net worth.

We begin with prize money, in which Pereira has secured around $4.5 – $5 million on the PGA Tour. Despite finishing 180th in the FedEx Cup standings during 2020-21, the Chilean produced his best year to date the following season.
Thanks to three top 10 finishes, he picked up $2.8 million through 2021-22. His biggest paycheck? Well, that came at the US PGA Championship where he secured $870,000 for finishing third.

Commenting on the announcement, the group posted “the addition of Pereira as the newest member of the Generational Group team links…
