What golfer was won the most money while NEVER winning any events or tournaments and how much did they win?
Endorsements and fees for designing courses don’t count I’m talking just purse winnings.
I read the entire OP but I don’t feel like I have full info.
I’m not clear on where you’re going with this thread. Is this supposed to be like a trivia question where you already know the answer and the rest of us are supposed to guess? Or is it a regular question where you’re asking for information?
So now I’m supposed to tell whether or not it’s a trivia question?:rolleyes:
As for your not being clear where I’m going, seriously? Why does that matter? If this was a trivia question, why wouldn’t it belong here seeing as it’s a factual question involving sports?
You can look up money leaders for each year back to 2001 here ESPN Money List. The answer is probably somewhere in these lists since the purse for these things is always going up.
I went through the top 15 money earners of 2018 and they had all won at least a couple tournaments in their career. Then I scrolled down to the bottom and picked a few names at random and still couldn’t find anyone who hadn’t won at least a few tournaments, so I give up. but I’m interested to know the answer.
It matters because answering this question would require some research. Some people might be willing to spend twenty or thirty minutes doing research to help you find an answer but not be willing to do so to answer a trivia question.
“Never winning any tournaments or events” is pretty big hurdle to clear. Just like your Tennis query, I doubt if there are notable golfers who have never won an event or tournament. Any tournament can include junior golf, amateur golf, mini tours, college events etc.
Brian Davis and Briny Baird are number #130 and #131 on the PGATour Career Money List (13.3 Million dollars) and never won a PGATour Tournament.
But they have won tournaments. Davis has won two European Tour events and Baird won a Web-com tournament and Baird won some big collegiate events,
