Jordan Spieth did not win the British Open, but he still took home $460,000 for his fourth-place finish, pushing his season total to a whopping $9.2 million.
While Spieth is still well behind Tiger Woods' $109.8 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour, Spieth is well ahead of Woods' pace. With 11 tournaments left in the season, Spieth will almost certainly break Woods' record for most earnings in a single season, $10.9 million set in 2007.
More jarring is their career earnings (not counting endorsements). At 21, Spieth has already earned $17.4 million on the PGA Tour. Woods, 39, had $2.9 million in career earnings at the same age. At this pace, Spieth will destroy Woods' record for most career earnings.
