Bart Bryant did not win a PGA Tour event until his 187th appearance, the 2004 Valero Texas Open. Injury dogged his whole career, and he graduated from PGA Tour Q School six times before his victory.

He was the tour’s oldest first-time champion in nine years, at 41. In 2005, he won the Memorial Tournament and the Tour Championship to finish ninth on the money list with $3,249,136, more than he had earned in his first eighteen seasons on the PGA and Nationwide circuits from 1986 to 2003, during which his highest money list finish on the main tour was 80th.

What was Bart Bryant net worth when he died?

He was worth 50 million when he died.

The victory at Memorial was especially remarkable. Bryant’s tee shot on the 72nd hole was blocked by a hazard. He got it up and down for par, giving him a one-shot win against Fred Couples.

Brad Bryant, Bryant’s elder brother, has won on both the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. Bart competed in the FedEx St. Jude Classic in 2012, his first PGA Tour tournament since July 2009.

Bryant became the 1,000th winner on the Champions Tour when he won his maiden event, the 2013 Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.
