There can be a lot of money won playing professional tournament golf, especially on the PGA Tour and especially in the last two decades. And especially in the last two seasons.
Prize money has exploded on the circuit thanks to the signature events as well as the four majors boosting their purses.
Because of the influx of cash, four of the top five single-seasons for money earned happened during the 2022-23 season. One golfer has set a record for three years in a row. And Tiger Woods’ 2005 season ($10,628,024) is now not in the top 10.
Note: This list does not count bonus money awarded at the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship.
