Without a second thought, he mentioned that he has been an admirer of Gronkowski and his way of expenditures. Gronk saves all his NFL contract money and lives with his endorsement paycheck. Something that happened to be a life lesson for many athletes in the sports fraternity.
Per reports, the 33-year-old hasn’t touched a single penny from his NFL salaries. He has reserved them for the later stages of his life. “Something that I love about Gronkowski was he lives off of his endorsement money and saves all of his NFL contracts,” Zalatoris said in an interview.
“I don’t live by that strictly, but I tried to do a really good job of that. I think that what I do off the golf course allows me to live very comfortably and everything that I make on the golf courses, you know, almost set for retirement,” he added, explaining his way of wealth accumulation.
