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

      Agreed - only 5 players better than -4. Not quite alarm bells are ringing time just yet.

      I don't really care what the winning score is. The best players still generally bubble up to the top. Also, second is three back. It's not like there are ten people within two shots of the lead.

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.
