Rory McIlroy outperforms Tiger Woods by $3,000,000 in the PGA Tour Player Impact Program, in which golfers compete for a total of $100,000,000 in extra money
Rory McIlroy won $15,000,000 from the $100 million incentive sum, dethroning Tiger Woods at the top of the PGA Tour Player Impact Program. Despite seldom competing in the event, Woods has been the leader for the previous two years. However, in 2023, McIlroy topped the list and received the prize.
The PGA Tour PIP was created in 2021. Its goal was to employ objective evaluation criteria to recognize and celebrate the players who have given the most to the PGA Tour.
Several Tour players have left to play for LIV Golf in the last two years. Despite this, McIlroy and Woods have stayed loyal to the series, having turned down a million-dollar offer from the Saudi circuit the previous year.
On Wednesday, November 22, the PGA Tour released the PIP list. Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler finished second and third, respectively.
Here are the 20 golfers who topped the PGA Tour PIP list in 2023:
- 1. Rory McIlroy: $15,000,000
- 2. Tiger Woods: $12,000,000
- 3. Jon Rahm: $9,000,000
- 4. Jordan Spieth: $7,500,000
- 5. Scottie Scheffler: $6,000,000
- 6. Rickie Fowler: $5,500,000
- 7. Viktor Hovland: $5,000,000
- 8. Justin Thomas: $5,000,000

It should be noted that during the 2024 Sentry Tournament of Champions, players will get 75% of the entire incentive, with the remaining 25% paid once the golfers have completed their Player Impact Service Fulfilment.
Furthermore, the PGA Tour has reduced the PIP purse for 2024 from $100 million to $50 million, implying that just ten players would win rewards.
Here are the PIP top-10 payouts for 2024:
- 1: $10,000,000
- 2: $8,000,000
- 3-6: $4,500,000
