As the world major tour season draws to a close, attention tends to focus on the lucrative final series and multi-million dollar bonuses. For the vast majority of players, of course, it’s more about battling in a year-long marathon than in triumphing in a last-minute sprint. However, the rewards can be substantial, even for circuit pros in the lower echelons of the top tours. So what can they realistically aspire to after a solid season? <\/p>\n

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

PGA Tour Player of the Year Justin Thomas topped the American Tour’s money list with $9.9 million, while Tommy Fleetwood, currently competing in the European Tour’s final tournament, has earned 4.2 million euros, equivalent to $5 million.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sixteen players on the American Women’s Tour, the LPGA Tour, have earned more than $1 million this season, with the final tournament of 2017 remaining. South Korea’s Sung Hyun Park is at the top of the earnings rankings, with $2.3 million in prize money. No golfer on the Ladies European Tour has surpassed $1 million in earnings in 2017. After 12 of the 15 tournaments scheduled this season, Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist leads the earnings list, with \u20ac555,556 ($655,657), in her case amassed in just three competitions. <\/p>\n

Obviously, all these earnings are reduced after taxes and caddie, travel and accommodation costs, but they can also be further increased by advertising sponsorships, unofficial tournaments and other off-circuit events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
