Rory McIlroy has become just the second player on the PGA Tour to earn over $100m.
—
Rory McIlroy may still be on the hunt for that elusive Masters title, but his latest achievement might help him sleep a little easier on those more troublesome nights.
The current world no.2 has become just the second golfer to reach the $100 million milestone for career earnings on the PGA Tour. This comes 13 years after Tiger Woods became the first to complete the lucrative achievement.
The Northern Irishman joined the 100 club at the Houston Open last week, sharing fifth place with Alejandro Tosti, Taylor Pendrith, and Wyndham Clark. His prize money, a respectable $338,000, was enough to get him over the $100 million mark.
At just 35 – still relatively young in golf – McIlroy still has plenty of time to win the Masters and complete the Grand Slam – an achievement that only five players have managed in the history of the sport. While there are few golfers who can say they have achieved more than the four-time Major winner, how does McIlroy’s income stack up against the PGA’s biggest all-time earners?
