Tiger has now broken the 100 million dollar mark for on course earnings!  Wow!  That is amazing!  In comparison to Snead, the career leader in wins with 82, made 620,126 dollars.  In 74 wins, Tiger has made 100,350,700.  Of course, times are different these days with MUCH larger purses, but Tiger can be thanked for his hand in the added wealth of those purses.  The tournament winnings have gotten quite a bit bigger over the years, but his dollar stat has a lot to do with playing well when it counts.

Golf Digest reports:

Quote:
Woods has won 74 tournaments, second all-time, including 38 times with a first prize of $1 million or more. His winnings come out to an average of $362,276.89 for each of his 277 career starts.

Not too shabby!  It looks like he will do just fine after the divorce!

The purses are there (pga tour) because the revenue is there. The revenue is there because the spectator interest (in person and television) is there. It's that simple. Find a way to drive more viewership and purses will rise correspondingly....

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li
3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li
Hybrids: Titleist 910H 19* and 21* Diamana Kai'li
Irons: Titleist 695cb 5-Pw
Wedges: Scratch 51-11 TNC grind, Vokey SM-5's;  56-14 F grind and 60-11 K grind

I don't feel that this should be a big news story.  $100 million doesn't go as far as it would of for Snead.  Yes its alot of money but you have to look at it in comparison.  The price of everything as gone up.  I'm sure the money that Snead and Hogan won was alot back then too

Maybe so, but you know what they say...... A hundred million here, a hundred million there, and before you know it, you're talking real money! :-)

$30 million more and he'll be in John Lackey territory. :-D I read the other day that when Tiger joined the Tour, the previous career money leader was Greg Norman, at just under $10 million. Tiger has eclipsed that number in single seasons several times.

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

Not really a "big news story."  It's just a story in general. But with that being said, that's a 100 million on course earnings.  Add that with his sponsorships and all of the other money he makes from golf....that money goes far!!  And of course 100 million would go farther back then.  But I would be willing to bet if you crunched the numbers...100 million dollars from winning golf tournaments is still a lot of money today

I bet the LPGA would like to earn that kind of money today...

Lifetime earnings is probably one of the least significant stats in historical terms.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
