Golfers Who Have Made the Most Money Without Winning
Eight players have made more than $10 Million without a PGA Tour, DP World Tour, or LIV win!
Cameron Tringale has made more money than any other winless professional golfer
Professional golfers play the game to win tournaments and make money. Usually, those two things go hand-in-hand, but not always.
These are the 10 most prolific money-makers who have never won a PGA Tour, DP World Tour (formerly European Tour), or LIV Golf tournament.
Counting Tournament Money and Wins
To get to the top level of professional golf, players have to win at some level, right? So before we look at the top 10 winless money-earners, let’s establish the criteria.
A win on any of the three top major professional tours, the PGA Tour, DP World (formerly European Tour), and yes, even LIV Golf, exonerates players from this conversation.
Some of these players have professional wins on the Korn Ferry Tour and Champions Tour, Asian Tour, or other professional tours.
Since we’re only counting wins on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, or LIV, we’re also only counting on-course money earned on those tours, which includes money earned in majors. That means money earned on the PGA Tour Champions, Korn Ferry of Challenge Tours, or other professional tours, is not counted here.

The Silver Lining
We said it before, and we’ll say it again: professional golfers play the game to win tournaments and make money. While those often go together, eight players have made more than $10 million on the golf course without a top-tier win.
There’s no doubt those players are eager to get that so-called monkey off their backs, but they probably aren’t garnering a whole lot of sympathy given their eight-figure haul.
Winning any golf tournament is hard, but there’s no denying they’ve accomplished the making money part of the professional golf equation, which softens the sting of that annoying “without a win” tag that gets associated with their names.
