There can be a lot of money won playing professional tournament golf, especially on the PGA Tour and especially in the last two decades.
Prize money has exploded over the last several years on the circuit and with a new media-rights deal in place, look for the explosion of cash to continue.
Tiger Woods is on this list of most money earned in a single PGA tour season four times. Jordan Spieth shows up twice. And now there’s a new member of this top-10 list, your 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler. He bumps Jason Day’s 2014-15 season to the No. 11 spot.
This list does not count bonus money nor does it account for money earned on the European Tour.
