Woods has 74 wins, second all-time to Sam Snead, who collected $620,126 in a career that began in 1937.
Prize money shot up on the PGA Tour after Woods turned pro — a period also marked by a huge increase in television revenues. “It was nice to have a nice start to my career, and I won some majors early,” said Woods, who shot a closing 66 and finished two strokes behind winner Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy earned $1.4 million for his fifth career PGA Tour victory in a Monday finish at the TPC Boston. Woods, who has a net worth of about $600 million, remains in contention for the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus for winning the PGA Tour playoffs.
Not included in Woods’ career earnings is the millions he has received for endorsing retail products throughout his 16-year career.u00a0
