    Rory McIlroy has joined an elite club, becoming only the second player in PGA Tour history, alongside Tiger Woods, to surpass $100 million (£77 million) in career earnings. The Northern Irishman, who is gearing up for next month’s Masters, continued his impressive form in 2025 in Houston last week.

    McIlroy finished tied for fifth at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, earning a cool $337,843.75 (£261,090.72) in prize money and bringing his career total on the PGA Tour to a staggering $100,046,906 (£77.3m)

    This achievement puts him alongside his TGL business partner, Woods, with the duo the only two players in PGA Tour history to exceed $100 million in career earnings.

    McIlroy still has some catching up to do with Woods, though, whose current tally stands at a whopping $120,999,166 (£93.5m). The four-time major champion moved into second place on the list earlier this month after clinching The Players Championship by defeating J. J. Spaun in a three-hole playoff.

    In addition to lifting the PGA Tour’s flagship trophy for the second time in his career, McIlroy also pocketed $4.5 million (£3.5m) in prize money for his efforts. This moved him past Phil Mickelson into second place on the money list, who had won just short of $97 million (£75m) on the circuit before joining LIV Golf.

    McIlroy’s next chance to add to his tally will be at the first major championship of the season, as the Masters returns to Augusta National next month. For the Northern Irishman, though, there is more at stake than just the prize money.

    Rory McIlroy is a man in form

    He is not only aiming to end an 11-year wait for a major title but also to complete the Grand Slam by winning the Masters and the green jacket for the first time. He’ll head to Georgia as the PGA Tour’s man in form, having already won twice this season.

    In addition to his success at The Players, the 35-year-old also clinched the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has finished in the top five in six of his last eight starts across the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. There was some concern on Sunday, though, after admitting he felt some discomfort in his right elbow in Houston.

    “I think just working on a few things,” he told NBC about his Masters prep over the next week. “My right elbow has been bothering me a little bit, so maybe just get some treatment on that and make sure that’s OK going into Augusta. I’ve got my coach Michael Bannon coming in tomorrow – we’ll do some work and make sure everything is in good shape for a week’s time.”
