Aaron Rai's PGA Championship win propels him to top 15 on money list

[ASFN Admin]

Aaron Rai's victory at the PGA Championship gave him a major boost on the PGA Tour's money list.

Rai jumped 97 spots to No. 15, earning $4,211,334 in total this season after a $3,690,000 payout for his win.

There wasn't any movement at the very top of the list with Nos. 1-7 remaining unchanged ahead of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

But there was a bit of shuffling through the list so let's take a look at where things stand.

PGA Tour millionaires​

There are now 75 players who have earned $1 million or more on the golf course this year, 45 with $2 million or more, 27 with $3 million or more and 19 with $4 million or more.
