Golfers enjoy a lump sum amount of money after claiming a win at an event. A win at LIV Golf can earn you $ 4 million, while a win at a PGA Tour event can also earn you well over a million dollars. However, there are plenty of players who’ve earned more than 10 million in prize money without a single win to their name.

The increasing prize money in the PGA Tour has helped golfers earn plenty of money even if they have a poor finish. Moreover, the winner’s purse is only going to  increase in the forthcoming years, giving the golfers more leverage. With no wins to their name, let’s take a look at the 5 golfers who’ve earned the most without a single win.

1. Cameron Tringale

Though currently part of LIV Golf, Tringale had participated in the PGA Tour for more than a decade. He did come close to clinching a win at the Valspar Championship earlier this year but finished at the third position.

However, the Californian-born golfer does has a win to his name back in 2014, during which he won the QBE Shootout. Nonetheless, the event was an unofficial tournament under the PGA Tour banner.

As he moved to the lucrative Tour with no win to his name, Tringale has managed to earn $16,981,931. He is placed at the 117th position among all-time earners in the PGA Tour.

2. Brian Davis

The Englishman may have had a taste of victory in the Foreign Tour, but had none in the PGA Tour. Davis has pocketed $13,382,405 throughout his career.

Like many others, the 48-year-old had close calls to many wins but failed to capture the closure. Nonetheless, he’s been impressive with more often top-10 finishes.

3. Briny Baird

Similar to his father, Butch Baird, Briny too chose the path to becoming a pro golfer. Though yet to win a tournament, he’s earned $13,251,178.

He held the top position of being the highest earner without a single win until Tringale and Davies surpassed him in recent years. Moreover, Baird’s career has also been hijacked with constant injuries that have acted as a barrier to his victory.

4. Tommy Fleetwood

Perhaps one of the few golfers on this list who may be very close to their first PGA Tour win. The Englishman has won in the European Tour five times in the past. However, he has yet to touch a trophy in the American Tour.

Fleetwood has earned $12,798,632 in the Tour. With appearances in the Ryder Cup and finishing as runners-up at the 2018 US Open and 2019 British Open, we may see the 31-year-old claim his maiden PGA Tour victory.

Overton has previously been ranked in the top 50 of the World Golf Rankings. In 2010, he finished second three times, including the Greenbrier Classic, where he lost a three-stroke lead when Stuart Appleby scored 59.

The 39-year-old performed well enough to be selected for the 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup team. Ever since having back surgery in 2017, Overton has been sidelined. Despite being winless in the PGA Tour, he has earned $12,790,635.
