Rory McIlroy continued his phenomenal career last week by winning The Masters, edging out Scottie Scheffler by a single shot.
McIlroy held a record six-shot lead heading into the weekend, but only narrowly made it over the line come Sunday evening.
It was a nervy finish for the Northern Irishman, but he held his nerve to see off the chasing pack and successfully defend his crown.
McIlroy has just retained his green jacket and secured a sixth major win with the success, with his $4.5million prize money adding to his astonishing career tally.
Rory McIlroy takes career earnings to $114,696,641 at The Masters
Unsurprisingly, two-time Masters champion McIlroy finds himself among the highest-earning players in the history of the PGA Tour.
In fact, he ranks second in the PGA Tour money list with his tally of $114,696,641.
The figure places him behind only 15-time major winner Tiger Woods, who tops the list with his total of $120,999,166.
And it also places him just ahead of his current rival Scheffler, who is third in the all-time leaderboard on $105,699,566.
Fresh from his T3 finish at Augusta, Justin Rose is fourth in the list on $77,031,420, while Adam Scott completes the top five with $71,758,325, having finished T24 at The Masters.
Meanwhile, also within the top 10 are Jim Furyk, Justin Thomas, Vijay Singh, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day.
How much money the top performers earned at The Masters
A record purse of $22.5million was available at The Masters this year, with several players taking full advantage of the huge total.
Scheffler earned $2,430,000 after finishing solo second, while Rose, Tyrell Hatton, Cameron Young and Russell Henley all earned $1,080,000 in T3.
Finishing T7, Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns each earned $725,625, while Max Homa and Xander Schauffele clinched $630,000 in T9.
Of course, FedExCup points were also at stake, with McIlroy gaining 750 after going back-to-back at Augusta.
Scheffler earned 500 for his efforts, while the players tied for third earned 312.500, apart from LIV Golf’s Tyrrell Hatton.
Rory McIlroy close to surpassing Tiger Woods’ career earnings
McIlroy has also taken his PGA Tour career wins tally to 30 after his latest triumph, which is his first of 2026.
He is, of course, a long way off the two names at the top of that all-time list, with Tiger Woods and Sam Snead level on 82.
That is a record that McIlroy seems very unlikely to break, but he is rapidly closing in on the former’s career earnings.
The gap between the two icons is constantly decreasing, and will continue to do so given McIlroy’s success and Woods’ absence from the PGA Tour.
