Justin Rose has been one of the most consistent performers on the PGA Tour for a quarter of a century.
The 45-year-old turned professional in 1998 and has amassed 13 PGA Tour wins and risen to number one in the Official World Golf Rankings in 2018. He has a US Open victory to his name, three second-place finishes at The Masters, two at The Open and a third-place finish at the PGA Championship.

Following his performance at The Players Championship, where he finished T13 in a solid showing, Rose moved into the top five all-time in career earnings on the PGA Tour. He passed Dustin Johnson on the list, and moved behind Phil Mickelson in fourth.
But how do his career earnings compare to the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy?

Justin Rose’s career earnings on the PGA Tour as he moves to fifth all-time
After his T13 finish at The Players, Rose brings his career earnings on the PGA Tour to $75.95 million. That’s just under $300k more than Johnson, who drops down to sixth all-time. However, Rose has a long way to go before he catches Mickelson ahead of him.

The six-time major winner earned $96.73 million during his esteemed PGA Tour career, and he’s the highest-ranked player on this list with less than $100 million in career earnings on the tour.
Second and third are two active players on the tour, Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy. Scheffler is third with $103.27 million in career earnings. That’s an impressive number before turning 30, and he’ll likely get to the top of the list when it’s all said and done.
Second is McIlroy, who has earned $110.19 million on the PGA Tour, but he’s a way back from the man who tops the list.
It won’t surprise many to hear that Woods is number one. He has earned $120.99 million on the tour, and we all hope that number will continue to rise as he battles back from injury.

Where Justin Rose must improve to win The Masters
2026 has been a rollercoaster for Rose. Rose won the Farmers Insurance Open wire-to-wire at Torrey Pines and had a solid showing at The Players, but he’s also missed three cuts this year.
His success has hinged largely on his driver. His best performance off the tee by far this season was at Torrey Pines, where he gained 0.69 strokes to the field. Not incredible, but passable.
Since then, Rose lost strokes off the tee at Pebble Beach and Riviera, missing the cut both times, and then lost 1.67 strokes off the tee at Bay Hill, again missing the cut.

Rose’s form with his driver improved significantly at The Players, however. He once again gained strokes and once again contested the top of the leaderboard.
The Englishman’s iron play has been impressive all season, but his result at this year’s Masters is going to depend on the big stick.
