Spieth Passes Johnny, Trevino In All Time Money!
/Jordan Spieth's amazing run continued with a T2 finish in the Tour Championship and Adam Schupak puts Spieth's nearly $4 million in winnings into perspective:
Spieth began the year without status on any professional tour and had to compete in a Thursday qualifier. He earned a two-year PGA Tour exemption for winning the John Deere Classic, made nearly $4 million and finished seventh in the FedEx Cup standings.
“Does it make you mad that in his first year he has beaten you on the all-time money list?” commentator Terry Gannon playfully asked Johnny Miller.
He wasn’t alone. The runner-up check helped Spieth leapfrog over Hall of Famer Lee Trevino, too.
“The beginning of the year, my goal, I've said it a million times, it was just to get on Tour next season,” Spieth said.
Spieth's next amazing feat? Breath a little fire into a legend's game, with a much hoped-for Tiger Woods partnership the Presidents Cup.
