... or maybe just a completely misleading list.

Does anyone know where I can find the *complete* all-time leading money winner list for the PGA? I got curious after it was mentioned on today's Honda Classic coverage that Justin Leonard is the 9th all-time money winner.

Really? Leonard in the top 10?

I found the all-time top 100 here: All Time Money List

This list seems to be a real good measure of what era you played in.

Even Tom Watson, who nearly won a major in recent times, is only 99th.  Look at some of the names ahead of him.  Look at *most* of the names ahead of him.

Now I'm morbidly curious to see where Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and others rank these days.  Sam Snead?  Ben Hogan?  Dare I mention Walter Hagen?  You know, top 10 guys in all-time tournament wins?

This show was jack won vs what he would have won if it was 2008

As you can see Jack and Arnie were playing for a lot less money.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9 

567 people is the most comprehensive list I could find: http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/?110

Nicklaus is 190th, Palmer is 329th. Snead, Hogan, and Hagan don't even make the list. I don't think it's adjusted for inflation, and I know it's not adjusted for drastically increased purses (relative to inflation).

That said, the last guy in the list is at $7,511. Snead, Hogan, and Hagan must have made more than that...

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

If you roll it back to 1980, it goes even lower, but I still can't find Snead, Hogan, Nelson or Hagen.

The official PGA Tour money must only date back to 1968, when it officially broke off from the PGA of America.  I know they played for peanuts back in the pre-PGA Tour days, but Snead would have had to average less than $2.00 a win to not have eclipsed the mighty Jim Fellner at $138.00 in career winnings up until 1980.
