Rory McIlroy becomes second player to earn $100 million on PGA Tour
Rory McIlroy has become just the second golfer in history after Tiger Woods to surpass $100 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour.
The four-time major champion earned $337,843 after finishing in a tie for fifth at the recent Houston Open to take him past the nine-figure landmark to $100,046,906.
In total, McIlroy has won 28 tournaments on the PGA Tour since making his debut in 2010, including recently winning the 2025 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
Woods, who recently underwent surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon, was first to reach the $100 million milestone in 2012 and tops the list on $120,999,166.
Woods' long-time rival Phil Mickselson is third on the list with $96,685,635 in earnings, and one of five LIV Golf members in the top 25.
Dustin Johnson, another golfer who joined Saudi-backed LIV in the 2022 breakaway, is fourth with $75,557,026.
Scottie Scheffler, who has been the money list winner in each of the past three seasons, has rocketed into the top five on $75,134,784 as the PGA Tour increased prize money in an effort to compete with the winnings on offer in LIV.
Scheffler only turned professional in 2018 but has enjoyed historic back-to-back seasons.
PGA Tour and LIV golfers come together again this month for the Masters, which takes place at Augusta National from April 10-13.
McIlroy is bidding to become just the sixth golfer in history to win all four majors at least once, with the green jacket the one major prize he is still missing.
His last major win came at the PGA Championship in 2014.
The Northern Irishman told the Golf Channel on Monday that his right elbow has been 'bothering' him and he will receive treatment on the injury ahead of the Masters.

Scheffler chases back-to-back majors at US Open
World number one Scottie Scheffler plays a shot during his final practice round at Oakmont for the 125th US Open (Andrew Redington) Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler launches his bid for back-to-back major titles as the US Open gets under way on Thursday. The world's top golfers face an ultimate challenge at Oakmont, where dense rough, sloped fast greens and tricky bunkers have Scheffler among many calling it the hardest course they might ever play. Advertisement "This is probably the toughest golf course in the world right now," defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau said. Scheffler noted the tall rough, saying, "What's so special about this place is pretty much every time you're off the fairway it's going to be very difficult for you to get the ball to the green." Scheffler, whose nine wins last year included Paris Olympic gold, has won three of his past four starts and his matchup against iconic Oakmont is golf's version of a heavyweight showdown. It begins at 1:25 p.m. (1725 GMT) when he starts off the first tee alongside fourth-ranked American compatriot Collin Morikawa and Norway's Viktor Hovland. Advertisement After capturing last month's PGA Championship for his third major crown, Scheffler is trying to become the first man to win consecutive majors since Jordan Spieth in 2015 by taking his first US Open title. Scheffler is a heavy oddsmakers' favorite but tries to ignore such things, especially after bettors forced him to dump his Venmo account. "I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn't win. It wasn't a good feeling," Scheffler said. Second-ranked Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters in April to complete a career Grand Slam, and DeChambeau, who won last month at LIV Golf Korea, will be among the first to test Oakmont after Indianapolis dentist and former Oakmont caddie Matt Vogt hits the opening shot off the first tee at 6:45 a.m. Advertisement Five-time major winner McIlroy, who says he has seen progress after driver struggles in the past month, begins off the 10th tee at 7:40 a.m. with playing partners Justin Rose of England and Shane Lowry of Ireland. Northern Ireland's McIlroy could become only the seventh player to win the Masters and US Open in the same year, joining Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Spieth, Arnold Palmer, Craig Wood and Ben Hogan. DeChambeau, seeking his third US Open victory in six years, goes off the first 10 at 7:29 a.m. alongside fourth-ranked US countryman Xander Schauffele, the reigning British Open champion, and Spain's Jose Luis Ballester, the reigning US Amateur champion. Phil Mickelson, who turns 55 Monday, can complete a career Grand Slam with a victory. He starts at 8:02 a.m. off the 10th tee, two groups behind McIlroy. Advertisement Mickelson, the oldest major winner at age 50 from his 2021 PGA Championship victory, is a six-time major champion and six-time US Open runner-up. A field of 156 from a record 10,202 entries will be trimmed to the low 60 and ties for the last two rounds, although thunderstorms are in the weekend forecast. js/rcw
