2007 PGA Tour
The 2007 PGA Tour season ran from January 4, 2007 to November 4, 2007. The season consisted of 47 official money events. This included four major championships and three World Golf Championships, which are also sanctioned by the European Tour. There were also five unofficial events played in November and December. Tiger Woods swept all the major awards for a sixth time.
Twelve players won three million dollars, 34 won two million or more and 99 won one million or more. The cut off to make the top 125 on the money list and retain a tour card was a record $785,180.
The total prize money, as stated on the 2007 schedule of tournaments page of the PGA Tour website, was $271.1 million.[1] The actual prize money was slightly higher – $272,304,886.89 (due to more than 70 players making the cut at most tournaments). If one player had played and won each of the 44 events (excluding the three alternate events), he would have won $46,787,450.

gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!
gollark: Are you concerned about the security of P2P potatoUPDATES™?
gollark: No, and why.
gollark: So this may eventually allow stuff like P2P potatoUPDATES™.
gollark: The first one is the actual data, the second one is metadata (currently just the hash of the data section).
