McILROY, ROSE AND WOODS TOP MONEY-WINNERS IN 2012
NEWS RELEASE
Rory McIlroy was No. 1 in the world money-winners' table for 2012.
The list is published annually in the "The World of Professional Golf," the comprehensive golf annual that was begun by IMG founder Mark McCormack.
The list includes money earned from every golf tournament, even unofficial events such as the Father-Son Challenge and PGA Grand Slam.
McIlroy's five wins included the US PGA Championship and two FedEx Cup play-off events. He finished with $11,301,228.
Justin Rose was No. 2 with $7,897,818, even though he won only once on the PGA Tour at the Cadillac Championship at Doral. Rose also won the Turkish Airways World Golf Final, the medal-match exhibition that attracted a world-class field of eight players. Rose beat Lee Westwood in the final match to earn $1.5 million.
Tiger Woods, with three wins, was at No. 3 with $7,388,061. He was followed by Luke Donald (three wins) and Louis Oosthuizen (two wins).
Rounding out the top 10 were Jason Dufner, Brandt Snedeker, Westwood, Bubba Watson and Keegan Bradley. Watson (Masters) and Bradley (Bridgestone Invitational) were the only players in the top 10 who had only one win last year
