Rory McIlroy (36, Northern Ireland) has reserved his second "100 million dollar man" position on the PGA Tour after Tiger Woods (50, USA), the "golf emperor."

McIlroy won the Players Championship, the fifth major championship that ended on Thursday, beating J. Spawn of the U.S. after extra time. As McIlroy won the most prize money among PGA Tour events, he received 4.5 million U.S. dollars in prize money. 카지노

McIlroy, who earned 99.7 million U.S. dollars in total prize money by winning his 28th career PGA Tour championship, has about 300,000 dollars left over from the "100 million dollars." Woods is the only player who has received more than 100 million dollars in prize money from the PGA Tour so far. "Golf Digest," a U.S. golf media outlet, said that more than 57 percent of McIlroy's total prize money has been concentrated over the past seven years due to the dramatic increase in PGA Tour prize money with the advent of LIV Golf, adding that considering McIlroy's recent performance, he will also break Woods' record within at least three seasons."

McIlroy, who is about to join the 100-million-dollar club, is aiming at the Masters Tournament, his first major tournament of this season, which will take place on March 11. McIlroy, who debuted on the PGA Tour in 2010, has lifted four of his 28 major championship trophies out of his 28 wins. He won his first major title at the U.S. Open in 2011, and won major titles in succession in 2012 (PGA Championship) and 2014 (D-Open Championship and PGA Championship). McIlroy is the only major tournament in which he failed to win a major championship. He ranked in the top 10 seven times, including the runner-up prize at the 2022 event, but failed to wear the "Green Jacket" given to the winner.

If McIlroy wins this season's Masters, he will become the sixth golfer in 25 years since Woods in 2000 and the sixth golfer in the PGA Tour to achieve the career Grand Slam. The 10-year drought of winning major championships that continued until last year could also be ended. McIlroy expressed confidence by saying, "If you don't believe that my best golf is now, I have no reason to stay here. It's been a long time since I made my debut, but I'm still making progress." McIlroy is expected to skip all three PGA Tour events ahead of the Masters and prepare for the Masters.
