Season Money Rankings (July 28, 2026)
The PGA Tour’s 2026 season money list, compiled on July 28, 2026, shows world-number-one Scottie Scheffler at the top with $16.9 million in earnings. He is followed by Cameron Young ($13.9 million), Matt Fitzpatrick ($13.7 million), Wyndham Clark ($9.9 million) and Collin Morikawa ($8.6 million). Rory McIlroy, a former career-money leader, sits in sixth place with $8.5 million. The rankings reflect more than $400 million in combined purses available throughout the 2026 schedule, with the FedEx Cup playoffs offering an additional $20 million in two events and a $40 million bonus pool at the Tour Championship.
Career Earnings Landscape
Tiger Woods remains the all-time PGA Tour money leader, his career total reaching $120,999,166 after a $44,400 check for finishing last at the 2024 Masters. Scottie Scheffler trails by just over $4 million, with career earnings of $116,364,411 following his runner-up finish at the 3M Open. Rory McIlroy sits a few thousand dollars ahead of Scheffler at $116,446,772. Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose round out the top five with $96,727,968 and $78,589,373, respectively.
Comparative Earnings of Top Players (2026)
Scheffler’s 2026 earnings to date total $16,911,275 (as of July 28, 2026). Cameron Young and Matt Fitzpatrick, despite posting more tournament wins this year (two and three respectively), remain more than $2 million behind Scheffler. The 2026 Torrey Pines winner has accumulated $4,853,356 in earnings this season, illustrating the depth of prize money across the tour.
Outlook for the FedEx Cup Playoffs
With the FedEx Cup postseason approaching, Scheffler’s lead is vulnerable but substantial. The two playoff events each carry $20 million in purses, and the Tour Championship’s $40 million bonus pool counts toward official money. If Scheffler captures a playoff victory, his season total could exceed $30 million, further widening the gap to his nearest rivals and bringing him within striking distance of overtaking Woods on the career list.
