PGA Tour Earnings Grow By 25%.

Even so, for a tour pro to pass $50 million in career earnings is no small accomplishment.

McIlroy started the week in 11th place on the all-time earnings list, but jumped to eighth with his first-place loot, waving as he passed Ernie Els ($49,320,727), Matt Kuchar ($50,002,667) and Sergio Garcia.

Charles Howell III seems like he’s running out of time at age 40; that he’s earned $39.4 million with just three PGA Tour career wins is already pretty impressive.

Another interesting way to look at the $50 million club is how much money each player has earned per start.
