Who Are The PGA Tour's All-Time Top Earners? Riggs & Trent Take On The Challenge

Riggs and Trent recently took on a fun challenge: naming the top 10 players with the highest career earnings on the PGA Tour. It's a tough quiz, especially with how much prize money is being handed out these days. Let's see how they did.

Key Takeaways

• Tiger Woods is the undisputed leader in career earnings.
• Modern players like Scottie Scheffler are climbing the list surprisingly fast.
• Some big names might not be where you expect them to be.

The All-Time Money List Challenge

The PGA Tour website has a list of the all-time career money leaders, and Riggs and Trent decided to test their knowledge. It turns out, remembering everyone and their exact spot can be pretty tricky, especially when you consider how much the game has changed over the years.

Tiger Woods is, as expected, at the top. He's earned a massive $120 million just from on-course winnings. That's a huge number, and it really shows his dominance over the years.

Then there's Jim Furyk, who's earned over $71 million. That's a serious amount of money, and it surprised even Trent. It just goes to show how consistent Furyk was throughout his career.

Surprises and Near Misses

One of the biggest surprises was Phil Mickelson. He's such a big name, but he wasn't where they initially thought he'd be on the list. It turns out, he's fourth, with a cool $94 million. They even joked about the PGA Tour website possibly taking him off, which is pretty funny.

Scottie Scheffler is making waves, too. He's already racked up $99 million in just about four years. That puts him in third place, not too far behind Tiger. It's wild to think how quickly he's climbed that list.

Dustin Johnson is also up there, sitting behind Phil Mickelson. VJ Singh also made the top 10, which is a solid achievement.

Who Else Made The Cut?

Jordan Spieth, another big name, didn't quite make the top 10. He's earned around $65 million, which is a lot, but not enough to crack the top group. Xander Schauffele is 13th with $62 million, also just outside the top 10.

Justin Rose landed in sixth place with $73 million. That's a great spot for him. They also discussed how close players can be on the list, with just a few hundred thousand dollars separating some of them.

Justin Thomas also made the list, earning $70 million. And to round out the top 10, Adam Scott came in with $69 million. It's pretty tight at the bottom of the list!

Here's a look at the top 10 career money leaders as they figured it out:

It was a fun challenge that showed just how much talent and success has been on the PGA Tour over the years, and how quickly things can change with today's prize money.
