Despite Their Profound TGL Partnership, Rory McIlroy Finds Himself in an Interesting Battle With Tiger Woods

The game of golf has seen many a competition where players tough it out on the course giving it their all. There are also cases where the drama finds the players off the course as they engage in fierce debates amongst themselves. That is not all. Sometimes they also unknowingly get dragged into some sort of rivalry. This time we see two legends of the game, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy getting pulled into such a situation.

Known as the greatest ever to play the game, Tiger has pulled off several amazing feats before his absence due to injury. Similarly, McIlroy has also not failed to amaze the golf world with his skills, techniques, and style. And now, a recent reveal has pitted both golfers against each other. Let’s find out more.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy career earnings face-off

The contrast of sorts emerged as an Instagram post became viral which mentioned both Tiger’s and McIlroy’s earnings in the game. Although the legend has not played much in the last couple of years, he has still managed to beat every other active player in almost all aspects of the game.

He ranks at the top in terms of his career earnings on the PGA Tour. The pro golfer is followed closely on his tail by ‘Rors’. There is a massive gap though between the golfers.

As per official records put up by the PGA Tour, Tiger boasts a career earning of $120,954,766 while LIV golfer Phil Mickelson takes the second spot with $96,572,310. McIlroy is third with $77,945,557, a $43 million separating him and Tiger. While the Instagram post by Golf Digest set them side by side, ignoring the LIV golfer completely, it also raised the question of whether the latter will ever catch up to Woods.

Although the TGL co-stars have been pulled into a rivalry of sorts unknowingly, they will definitely look to improve their numbers in the future. While it may take some time and effort, ‘Rors’ will undoubtedly try to push himself up on the board.
