Rory McIlroy Joins Tiger Woods as PGA Tour's Second $100 Million Earner

Rory McIlroy has become only the second golfer in history to surpass $100 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour, joining Tiger Woods in this elite club. He achieved this milestone by earning $338,000 for a tied fifth finish at the Texas Children's Houston Open, bringing his total to $100,046,906. Woods, who currently leads with $120,999,166, has held the top spot in career earnings for 25 years. McIlroy's achievement comes as he continues to compete for his first Masters title, and he has expressed a desire to improve his game ahead of the upcoming tournament. Other notable figures in career earnings include Phil Mickelson at $97 million, Dustin Johnson at $76 million, and Scottie Scheffler at $75 million. The PGA Tour has seen increased prize money recently, partly in response to competition from LIV Golf, which has lured some top players away.
