Here’s everyone who has earned more than $1 million on the PGA Tour this season (and the number will amaze you)

Thanks to Brooks Koepka’s performance at Shinnecock Hills, Curtis Strange is no longer the answer to one of golf’s more wonky questions: Who was the last player to win back-to-back U.S. Open titles? Yet Strange will forever be the solution to another piece of golf trivia: Who was the first golfer to earn $1 million in a single season on the PGA Tour.

Thirty years ago this coming November, the World Golf Hall of Famer won the season-ending Nabisco Championship in a Monday playoff over Tom Kite at Pebble Beach, earning $360,000 and pushing his year-long haul to $1,147,644. “I guess the first one to do it is the one everybody will talk about,” Strange said at the time. “But a couple of years from now, four or five guys will be doing it. It’s kind of like Arnold Palmer becoming the first player to win $1 million in a career [in 1968]. Now there are 40 or 50 who’ve done it.”

Oh, how clairvoyant Strange proved to be. Fast forward to 2018 and through last week’s Northern Trust, the number of golfers who have cracked the $1 million in this latest PGA Tour season (official money) is an impressive 114, which is believed to be an all-time high. Indeed, every golfer in the field at this week’s Dell Technologies Championship is on this list.

The number of season-long millionaires is up from 102 during the 2016-’17 and 107 from 2015-’16.

As for the number of golfers who have earned at least $1 million in PGA Tour events during their careers, well that number is now at 556 and counting. Sam Ryder became the latest this past weekend at Ridgewood Country Club, taking home $59,850 for his T-28 finish. He didn’t earn enough FedEx Cup points to move on to the season’s second playoff event, but his cash reward pushed him to $1,046,166 in winnings on tour.

Makes you wish you had put a few more hours on the range when you were a teenager, now, doesn’t it?

Here is the current PGA Tour money list updated through the Northern Trust:

Tiger Woods was asked about President Trump and his answer was pretty much what you’d expect

What to make of Tiger Woods’ brief utterances about President Trump following his final round in the Northern Trust? It has all the makings of a juicy story—the world’s most popular athlete, its most polarizing leader. Depending on which side of the political spectrum you occupy, it could be chopped up and digested any number of different ways, as the president himself has already proven.

The Fake News Media worked hard to get Tiger Woods to say something that he didn’t want to say. Tiger wouldn’t play the game – he is very smart. More importantly, he is playing great golf again!

The full exchange, with a New York Times reporter, was barely a minute long. Asked about his relationship with Trump, Woods reflected on their history playing together (including most recently last Thanksgiving weekend): “We’ve played golf together. We’ve had dinner together. I’ve known him pre-presidency and obviously during his presidency.”

Then Woods was asked about whether his relationship with Trump was an implicit endorsement of Trump’s policies toward immigrants and people of color? Treading cautiously, Woods said he felt compelled to respect the office. “He’s the President of the United States. You have to respect the office,” he said. “No matter who is in the office, you may like, dislike personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office.

Lastly, Woods was given the opportunity to comment broadly on Trump and the state of race relations in the U.S. In characteristic fashion, Woods punted. “No,” he said. “I just finished 72 holes and (am) really hungry.”

That was it. A few more questions followed—on tournament winner Bryson DeChambeau, on next week’s tournament in Boston, on the upcoming Ryder Cup—and then he was gone. For those keeping score, Woods’ three answers about Trump, immigration, and race relations—all topics that will surely fill shelves of libraries one day — amounted to 71 words. Asked about DeChambeau’s approach to biomechanics, he blew well past that mark without even trying.

And therein lies the real lesson from Sunday in New Jersey: In even the best of circumstances, Tiger Woods doesn’t say much. Give him a comfortable chair, air conditioning, and a bottle of water, and he’s still likely to skate around the periphery of anything even remotely controversial (asked in 2002 about Augusta National’s then all-male membership, Woods said the club was “entitled to set up their own rules the way they want them”). Put him in a scrum of reporters minutes after shooting one-under par in midday summer heat, and you get 71 stilted words that could roughly be translated as “I really don’t want to talk about this.” Even as other athletes at the height of their sport have ventured into choppy political waters, Woods, be it out of self preservation or genuine indifference, has remained comfortably on shore.

It’s worth debating whether that’s understandable or regrettable given Woods’ stature and influence. Woods has indeed emerged as a more sympathetic and approachable figure in this latest chapter of his career. But to have expected anything else from his answer Sunday is to not have been paying attention.
