Overview
- Tiger Woods remains the PGA Tour career money leader with roughly $121 million as of Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
- Scottie Scheffler extended his 2026 season lead with a runner-up at the 3M Open and sits at about $116.36 million in career earnings after collecting $959,200 for that finish.
- Rory McIlroy is at a comparable career total of roughly $116.45 million, leaving both him and Scheffler just over $4 million behind Woods entering the FedEx Cup postseason.
- The FedEx Cup playoffs include two $20 million official purses and a Tour Championship bonus pool worth $40 million that now counts as official money, creating a clear path for a rapid shift in the career standings.
- Woods first reached No. 1 in 2000 and has held the spot since, so an overtake would change a long-running record and reflect how bigger official purses are accelerating career-earnings milestones for current players.
