PGA Tour Money List

[DLR]

I was wondering if someone could tell me when the winner of the 2009 Money list is determined? I ask because I am in a poll with some friends at a club I belong to and I have Tiger who is currently in lead. Im not sure if the money list winner is determined at the end of the regular season which is this weekend if Im not mistaken or at the end of the playoffs. It would be nice to know if I have a little bit of extra money coming my way for some new gear.

Thanks,

Thanks.

The last tournament that counts towards the money list is Children's Miracle Network Classic which ends on Nov 15th.

It is decided officially after the last official tournament of the season, which includes the Fall finish. Q-School winnings don't count towards it, but that wouldn't matter anyway: the first-place award can't go to anyone ranked higher than 126 on this year's list, and that wouldn't push him up near #1.

However, the top will rarely change after the FedEx Cup is awarded, since the players near the top rarely play more than one or two end events. Tiger has almost a $3.5M lead over Stricker at the moment on the money list, and he's probably good to make another $2M (vs Stricker, who probably won't exceed $1.3M) during the playoffs. Short of Stricker deciding to play the entire Fall series, and winning just about everything there, it's probably effectively over after the TOUR Championship. But don't be like Paddy Power and pay out on Tiger right away. Some famous bookie paid out any tickets for Tiger winning PGA on Friday night, and...

Thanks for the info guys. With the regular season ending shortly I wasnt sure if the winner of the money list was determined then or not. Thanks for clearing it up for me. I just started follwing the PGA tour this year so Im not sure how everything works. I got lucky with the Tiger pick because what we did was everyone picked a card to determine who picked first thru last and I pulled the ace giving me first pick. I guess Ill have to wait till november to see if Tiger holds on. Hopefully he does because Im looking to buy a new set of irons in the offseason and this would help out nicely. Again thanks for the info everyone.
