Victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship has had a significant impact on Justin Rose's career. With this title, he returned to the PGA Tour winner's circle for the first time in more than two years, returned to the top 10 of the world rankings after more than five years, and guaranteed his tour card for the next two seasons.
However, his inclusion on an exclusive PGA Tour list stands out. Rose is only the eighth player in tour history to bank more than $70 million in career earnings. His title in Memphis raised his total to $73.2 million, ranking him sixth on the all-time list.
This ranking is led by the legendary Tiger Woods, with $121 million in career earnings. Rory McIlroy is the only other player to have surpassed the $100 million mark ($107.1 million). Next in order are Phil Mickelson ($96.7 million), Scottie Scheffler ($92.2 million), Dustin Johnson ($75.7 million), Rose, Jim Furyk ($71.5 million), and Vijay Singh ($71.3 million).

Rose has surpassed not only Furyk and Singh, but also several other illustrious names, both legendary players and younger stars. These include Adam Scott ($69.7 million), Justin Thomas ($69.3 million), and Jordan Spieth ($65.9 million).
Thomas could become the ninth member of the $70 million club this week with a strong finish at the BMW Championship. Scott, who missed the playoffs, will have to wait a bit longer, although he should complete this feat in a few starts, likely during the FedEx Cup Fall.
The 2025 season is already Rose's best in terms of earnings, with $8.2 million, thanks not only to his victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but also to his second-place finish at the Masters and his three other top-10 finishes, two of them at signature events.

Now he'll have two more unbeatable opportunities to continue adding to this total, as he will compete in the BMW Championship, which has a $20 million purse to be distributed among a 50-player field, and in the TOUR Championship, in which only 30 players will compete for a $40 million purse.
His previous best season, from a financial standpoint, was 2017-2018, in which he won two tournaments, finished second three times, and collected $8.1 million. He also won the FedEx Cup title that year.
Rose had been out of the winner's circle since the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, while he last ranked in the top 10 in the world rankings at the 2020 Genesis Invitational (he started there as world No. 10).

Putin tries to woo Trump at Alaska meeting, claims he wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Biden hadn't been president
Russian President Vladimir Putin — an ex-KGB agent and master manipulator — attempted to woo President Trump on stage, claiming he would not have invaded Ukraine if former President Biden hadn't been in office. 'I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities,' Putin said following his meeting with Trump. 'And I said it quite directly back then. Trump and Putin shook hands as they met on the tarmac in Alaska. AFP via Getty Images 'That's is a big mistake today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war — and I'm quite sure that it would indeed be, so I can confirm that.' Trained in strategic communications during his time as a KGB agent for the Soviet Union, Putin is known for attempting to manipulate world leaders with flattery. 'I think that, overall, me and President Trump have built a very good business-like [relationship],' he added. Trump has often said that he believed Putin would not have invaded if he were president in 2022, but he did not appear to take the dictator's bait Friday. AP While he called Putin's nine-minute pre-written speech 'profound,' Trump did not mention his longstanding talking point after the Russian leader's assertion. Instead, Trump subtly reminded Putin that he would not be making any business deals with Russia until the Kremlin ends its three-year war on Ukraine, pointing out the US' leverage. 'We … have some tremendous Russian business representatives here, and I think everybody wants to deal with us. We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world in a very short period of time,' he said. 'We look forward to dealing — we're going to try and get this over with. '… We'll have a good chance when this is over.'

50 for two days now, Tommy 'Two Gloves' Gainey is contending on PGA Tour Champions
Two days after turning 50, Two Gloves is contending on the PGA Tour Champions. Tommy Gainey, known for wearing golf gloves on both hands, celebrated his 50th birthday on Aug. 13, just 48 hours before he teed it up in his first senior event. And so far, so good, as Gainey shot 6-under 64 at the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic. Gainey was tied for the clubhouse lead with Shane Bertsch at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary before Steve Alker also shot 63. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Miguel Angel Jimenez later matched Alker's 63. Still, Gainey will start his second round Saturday just a single stroke off the pace. Tommy Gainey won a PGA Tour event in 2012 Gainey played in four PGA Tour tournaments this year, all opposite-field events, and posted finishes of T75, T53, T61 and MC. In his PGA Tour career, he has one career win, the 2012 McGladrey Classic, and three Korn Ferry Tour wins, two coming in 2010 and the third in 2020. Gainey played in only five PGA Tour events in 2024 and was among those who had to go to PGA Tour Q-School last winter but he came up short of a fully-exempt card for 2025. He only made $21,000 in 2024 after missing five of six cuts. His last full season was 2023, where he missed 11 of 16 cuts. But now he's starting a new journey on the Champions circuit and so far, so good.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre moves into commanding halfway lead
Robert MacIntyre surged into a five-shot lead at the halfway stage of the BMW Championship as he added a second-round 64 to his opening 62 at Caves Valley Golf Club. Scotland's MacIntyre produced six birdies in his flawless second round to reach 14 under in the second FedEx Cup play-off event. That left him five clear of world number one Scottie Scheffler, who carded a 65 to sit one ahead of Sweden's Ludvig Aberg. MacIntyre birdied the first after a fine approach to inside five feet, before further gains from 14 feet at the fourth and seven feet at the seventh. He picked up another shot at the 11th after driving the green at the par four, holed from 30 feet at the 14th and completed his scoring by reaching the par-five 16th in two and two-putting for birdie as he chases a third PGA Tour title. 'I've always said when I'm comfortable with a putter in my hands, it's a dangerous thing,' MacIntyre said in quotes reported on the PGA Tour website. 'The priority is getting that putter face as square as I can at impact, which is not rocket science, but it's difficult to do. 'For me, that's the priority now, just to go and do that. Then when you get in a certain range, it's all pace putting and touch, and my touch is normally pretty good. 'I feel like this week I've really done a good job of getting it underneath the hole to be able to be aggressive with an uphill putt.' England's Tommy Fleetwood, who had been second overnight, slipped into a tie for fifth with a second-round 69 in Maryland. Fleetwood's compatriot Harry Hall put himself just inside the projected cut mark for the season-ending Tour Championship as a 67 left him in a share of eighth place. Only the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings will proceed to East Lake in Atlanta with Hall currently projected to climb 15 places and take the final spot in the field.
