Greetings ...

Official PGA Tour Money List at PGATOUR.COM

If it were not for the Fed Ex Cup (Rite Ced Phred Kupplez), this year's PGA Tour Money List would be getting a lot more attention. Ernie Els leads at $4,097,761. Next come Phil Mickelson ($3,409,233), Jim Furyk ($3,308,872) and Jeff Overton ($3,301,181).

Overton's case is especially interesting - check out his current 2010 record . Without the benefit of a tour win, but with help from three 2nd place finishes and two third place finishes, Overton has still managed to have a pretty good year.

Just imagine if Overton were to record say, about four more Top-5 or Top-10 finishes, including maybe a couple of 2nd place finishes, he possibly could finish out the year as Leading Money Winner without having won a single event. Oh, and by the way, the Leading Money winner Category still exists, and the title carries a five-year PGA Tour exemption!

Recent PGA Tour Leading Money Winners with fewest wins in year the title was won---

1976: Jack Nicklaus (two official Tour wins)
1981: Tom Kite (one official Tour win)
1983: Hal Sutton (two official Tour wins)
1991: Corey Pavin (two official Tour wins)

Most money earned in one season without a win - $ 3,946,515 by Jim Furyk in 2009

The PGA Tour Leading Money Winner Title has always come with a five-year exemption, even back when several major event titles came with 10-year exemptions. On the European PGA Tour, the Order Of Merit Title (now the Race to Dubai) has always come with a 10-year exemption, provided that you are an active full Euro Tour member and all money is earned as a full member.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
