As the global golf tour season draws to an end, attention tends to focus on lucrative finals series and multi-million bonus pools. For the great majority of players, of course, it’s more about battling through a year-long marathon than triumphing in a last-gasp sprint. However, the rewards can be substantial, even for journeymen pros in the lower echelons of the main tours. So what can they realistically aspire to after a solid season? <\/p>\n

According to a report in Golfweek, a total of 146 players have won at least $1 million in prize money during the 2016-17 season between the U.S. PGA Tour and European Tour: 102 and 44 players, respectively (based on the current exchange rate between the euro and the dollar).<\/p>\n

PGA Tour player of the year Justin Thomas topped the U.S. money list with $9.9 million; while Tommy Fleetwood, currently competing in the final event of the European Tour, has won \u20ac4,235,987 ($5,000,070).<\/p>\n

Sixteen golfers on the U.S. LPGA Tour have won more than $1 million this season as they also compete in their last event of 2017. South Korean Sung Hyun Park is out front on the money list with $2.3 million in prize money. No golfer on the Ladies European Tour has topped $1 million in earnings in 2017. After 12 of the 15 events scheduled this season, Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist leads the way with \u20ac555,556 ($655,657) – albeit in her case from just three events. <\/p>\n

Obviously all these quoted winnings are reduced after paying taxes and caddy, travel and accommodation costs, but they can also be further swelled by endorsements, unofficial tournaments and other off-course events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
