European Tour Career Money List
Below are the all-time leaders in earnings on the European Tour, the tour's career money list.
The European Tour was founded in 1971 and its first official season was 1972. Golfers who rank in the Top 40 on the tour's career money list retain their tour cards via Exemption Category 9.
Golfers eligible to be included in the European Tour career money list are those who were/are tour members and earned that cash in official European Tour Order of Merit/Race to Dubai Tournaments. (Earnings of non-members are not applied toward the career money list.)
