3. Rory McIlroy (NIR) – $16,992,418
2025 PGA Tour wins: 3
McIlroy put an emphasis on his rest and recovery in the 2025 season, not playing as many events but still winning three titles and finally completing his awaited Career Grand Slam.

5. J.J. Spaun (USA) – $12,892,722
2025 PGA Tour wins: 1
Spaun has undoubtedly been the breakout star of the season, but he will rue playoff defeats at The Players Championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship.

7. Sepp Straka (AUT) – $10,650,894
2025 PGA Tour wins: 2
The Austrian was, at times, unplayable in 2025, with his two wins at The American Express and Truist Championship bringing in the cash.

8. Ben Griffin (USA) – $9,990,352

2025 PGA Tour wins: 0
Patrick Cantlay has had a positive season with frequent top 10s, though he hasn’t managed an event win in 2025.
