I have a friend who played on tour for eleven years. Although he had one win, he was considered to be a journeyman player. But he won more money in his career than Ben Hogan.
You can take money stats and toss them out the window.

Kite was the first in Tour history to reach $6 million, $7 million, $8 million, and $9 million in career earnings, and that is an irrelevant statistic?
