A Few Random Thoughts about the PGA Tour
With Fall at our door steps and the Tour begins to wind down, here are a few random thoughts I have regarding the PGA Money Leader List….
Tiger Woods – Let me get this out of the way first …. YIKES! Played in 12 events and placed 65th in earnings at $1,178,515. In these 12 events Tiger scored 2 Top 10s’s and 7 Top 25’s. Let me put this into perspective a bit more … Arjun Atwal (who???) has played in 2 less events than Tiger, and is ahead of him in the money list at $1,268,490! Arjan made $76,676 on Tour in 2009. Come on Tiger!!!
Matt Kuchar – Leads the 2010 money list at $4,393,727 and played in 24 events with 1 win, 11 Top 10’s, and 18 Top 25’s. His previous best year was 2009, when he played in 24 events and made $2,489,192 with 1 win, 5 Top 5’s, and 10 Top 25’s.
Ernie Els – A big resurgence in 2010 with 2 wins and 12 Top 25’s with earnings of $4,311,361. It’s Ernie’s best year since 2004 when he won 3 times.
Jeff Overton – Nearly tripled his best year’s earnings at just over $3.3 million. Played in 28 events, making the cut in 17 and 5 Top 3 finishes; previously from 2006 – 2009 he only finished in the Top 3 once. Nice job!
John Daly – Daly’s best year since 2007; in 17 events he made $140,295 with 1 Top25 finish (he placed 24th at the Puerto Rico Open). John we love you, but all kidding aside, it’s time to get some help.
