Rory McIlroy joins Tiger Woods in earning more than $100m in prize money on PGA Tour

Rory McIlroy has become the second golfer after Tiger Woods to exceed $100m (£77m) in career earnings on the PGA Tour.

The Northern Irishman reached the milestone by earning $338,000 for finishing in a four-way tie for fifth at last week’s Houston Open.

The 35-year-old has amassed 28 victories in 262 events on the Tour since making his first appearance in 2010.

Woods, 49, passed $100m in prize money in 2012 and currently stands on $120m, with 82 wins in 378 events.

Phil Mickelson is third on the list with $97m but left the PGA Tour in 2022 to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour for a reported $200m.

Dustin Johnson, who also joined LIV in 2022, is fourth on the list with $76m. World number one Scottie Scheffler ($75m) completes the top five.
