Although the figures mentioned above indicate significant earnings in the ACL, it is important to highlight that professional cornhole league players generally have modest incomes. Many players supplement their tournament winnings by securing sponsorships and exploring other sources of revenue. For instance, in 2023, only one ACL Pro exceeded the average annual salary for Americans, which is around $59,428, while over 140 players earned less than $5,000 from their involvement in cornhole.
As of now, specific earnings data for the 2024 season has not been publicly disclosed. However, given the increasing popularity of the sport and the ACL’s efforts to expand its reach, it’s anticipated that player earnings may continue to rise in the future.
